The alphanumeric identifier representing the specific hue of blue used by Yamaha Motor Corporation on its various products is a crucial piece of information for precise color matching. This unique identifier allows for accurate reproduction of the intended color during repairs, restoration, or custom paint jobs. For example, if a motorcycle fairing is damaged, knowing this code enables the painter to replicate the original factory finish with near-perfect accuracy.
Precise color matching maintains the aesthetic integrity and resale value of Yamaha products. The consistency offered by using this identifier ensures that repainted or replaced components blend seamlessly with the original finish. Historically, paint matching was a subjective process, often resulting in noticeable variations. The implementation of standardized identification systems has significantly improved the quality and accuracy of color reproduction, benefitting both owners and service professionals.
