Request for paint code

My Bay Blue C3 has an incorrect paint code. It is ECZ, which is a sandy colour. If anybody knows the correct code for Bay Blue, so that I can buy
some touch-up paint, I would be most grateful. Citroen Customer Care could not help as "it is not on our data base"!

Hi lenart

2016 Citroen Corcovado Azul ECZ

ECZ on a 2016 comes back as Corcovado Azul



I don't see any mention of 'Bay Blue' for Citroen

but there is a Belle Blue on a 2014

G B Y 2014 Citroen Blue Belle Ille KGW, U3 C3, C3 Picasso, C3 Pluriel, DS3, Berlingo, 2-tone EXT with KWF, EXU with EXY

Belle Blue Citroen C3





Did you check the ORGA for the paint code?
An example ORGA plate is here.

Thank you for the reply C3driver52. Bay Blue was introduced in autumn 2015.
My local dealer did actually have some ECZ touch-up in stock, it was a sandy colour--name in French, Sable Phonecien.

Sorry I couldn't help.

I found your Bay Blue (and others) on a 2015 C3
But unfortunately I don't have a paint code for it yet.

I have added the all the other colours I can see for late model C3s in case this topic brings traffic with people looking for Colours of the Citroen C3.

5CVE Bahia-Blau Met.
I found this here:

'Bay Blue' is 'Bahia Bleu' in France, Bahia-Blau in Germany.

Thank all of you for your replies.
My problem is solved. I was wrong, ECZ is the correct code for Bay Blue. Thanks for your help and my own searches I now know that ECZ is the paint code for Sand( under 3 different names),
Corcovado Azul( an inky-black), and my own Bay Blue( Bleu Bahia in France).
So I ask myself: what on earth is the point of a paint code if it is not specific to a particular colour?
Incidentally Bahia Blau, a German version of the same colour I think, has at least 2 paint codes-- L50A and 5CVE.
I'm baffled.

Thanks for sharing your research.

It doesn't make any sense. There are an unlimited combination of letters they could use, so why re-use ones already allocated to a colour?

I am not surprised.
