VolvoRuby Red PearlTouch Up Paint — Paint Code 454
Ruby Red Pearl is Volvo paint code 454. Volvo used 454 on the XC90, S60, V70, C70 from 2002 to 2011. 454 is a metallic, high gloss finish. Ruby Red Pearl is sold as Rubinrot Mica and Rouge Rubis Perle in other markets. Of the 19 Volvo red colours ordered from us, 3 have been ordered more often than Ruby Red Pearl.
The kit is mixed to the 454 formula — the same code printed on your vehicle’s paint label — not colour-matched by eye. On panels that still carry their factory paint, that reproduces the original tone.
Where it will not match
Panels bleached by years of sun sit lighter than the factory formula. The kit reproduces the original colour, not the faded one.
A panel that has already been resprayed is no longer the factory colour, so the code will not describe it.
Metallic and pearl finishes are harder to blend across a large area than solid colours — they are at their best on chips and thin scratches.
Damage larger than a few centimetres, or down to bare metal over a wide area, is body-shop work.
