Catalog

Colors for a config

GET/api/{brand}/{model}/{year}/{variant}/{trim}/colors

Colors shown for this car, kept deliberately compact: the Vehicleimagery house colors (available on every car) plus the colors of this car's own brand. Any active catalog color can still be requested on any car. Pass a name as ?color= on the image endpoint. The full catalog with brand pairing is at /api/colors; see also the *Paint colors* guide at /info/guides/colors.

API v2 add-on: for a car with add-on images the response also has any_hex_color: true — its paint can additionally be set to any 6-digit hex colour, e.g. ?color=c8102e.
