The Toyota Corolla might have long been something of an appliance, but it was an appliance people wanted. Like the toaster, refrigerator or washing machine in any given home, the Corolla was the thing many people of its heyday thought of when they heard the word "car."
Super White 040 might seem like the most popular color for a faithful appliance like the Corolla, but that honor actually fell to Silver 141 and Silver 164. Gray 168 was a popular choice for fleet vehicles, and Medium Gray 182 was its darker cousin. Black 204 was a pretty bold choice for any Corolla, while Almond Pearl Beige 4J1 kind of...wasn't. Red 3E6 was the bespoke color of passion for basic Corollas, while Medium red pearl 3H4 and Super Red 3E5 were shared with sportier Celicas and Supras. Toyota offered three shades of blue on this car; from lightest to darkest they were: 8G2 Ice Blue Pearl, 8G1 Blue Mica and 8E9 Dark Blue Mica.
