    Call your local dealership, they can give you the actual paint code from the VIN.

    There's a paint code on the door window sticker. Google it or take it to the dealer along with the vin number. They would be able to tell you exactly what it is.

    Perhaps impulse red pearl.

    It's not radiant red or inferno.

    ^You are correct. It's impulse red pearl for sure. It maybe be Barcelona but looks Impulse to me. However the metallic red colors are very misleading in pictures due to lighting.

    @LG888 , what year is your Tacoma, if it's 2005-2008, it's Impulse Red. 2009-2011, it's Barcelona Red.

    I just saw your profile info, its 100% Impulse Red as it's a 2005.

    If you want to confirm, just look at the inside of your door jam. It should read "3P1" in 2005, Impulse Red Metallic was the only color offered. There was Radiant Red but that was like a Fire Truck red, not yours pictured.

    My 2007 is impulse red pearl. I think that's what we've got here.
