Heritage Blue color on 4Runner Vs Land Cruiser (they look different)

[DangItsDen]

Saw a heritage blue LC250 yesterday and while I couldn’t park right next to it, my friends and I noticed the blue was noticeably different. The LC appears more muted and dusty blue and 4r looks more saturated. Just an observation that I thought was interesting.

Technically they’re supposed to be the same, right? They’re both called “Heritage Blue”, so it should be the same color? I saw a LC recently and used that as reference for my incoming 4R.

You would think but they are absolutely different in person. Makes me nervous for touch up paint etc….

I wonder if that's a factory difference? You'd have to compare a Tahara made LC to a 4Runner. That could be a Hamura made one.

In theory yeah that shouldn't make a difference as they should be the same color. Legit concern about the touchup paint.

looking at the color code for the LC250 and 4R, they both use 8x0 color code.

I find that it depends on the lighting. Sometimes mine looks more blue and other time more gray.

While these two trucks were parked directly next to one another, they were only 20-30 feet apart and absolutely different colors. I am going to make a point to find one in the wild and park next to it for science

They are definitely different. The LC heritage blue is a lighter shade.

I have a chip on my hood and was going to have the ceramic coating guy touch it up.

I have both the dr. color chip and Toyota HB paints here (BX0) I think. I'll swab a bit of both on a sheet of white paper or gray paper if I have that later today and post pics here

I wish the LC came with the 2.8 turbo diesel, which it comes with for the rest of the world. Then I’d buy it right away. I just don’t care about the afterthought LC250 hybrid is. Therefore IMO, the 4R ORP gas only is the best we can get here in North America.
