Different paint codes. Jazz Blue is LW5Z, Nogaro is LZ5M.

So does that mean that they are different colors, or is it just because of the fact that they are different companies, so they have different codes. I was just wondering because me and a friend bet and i said that they are different colors. And a couple people on the vortex said that it is the same.

As I understand it, they're the same "color", but VW's is missing the "pearl metallic" of nogaro.

Default Different colors have different codes...

The color code is used to determine how to replicate the color through a bodyshop or what not. It isn't necessarily a manufacturer specific coding.

As LCP states, they are technically a different color since Nogaro has the "pearl effect" that is missing from Jazz Blue.
