Cannot figure out this Kohler toilet color for the life of me...

[balla506]

I have included a picture. It is a Kohler 1.6GPF K4534. The markings say T39 on one line, 20 98 on the next and 6 24 94 on the third. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Here's the Bemis chart of Kohler colors. Maybe that will help. I can't tell you from the toilet number. Have you called Kohler to ask them if a color number is included inside the tank anywhere? Should be easy to find their customer service phone number.

That looks like it might be the underside of the tank lid. It might be easier to tell the color from a picture of the outside of the toilet and use that in combination with the numbers in the tank.

Below are some colors put into words.
Aspen green - similar to sage green but darker, a dusty grey green
Biscuit - version of off-white, lighter than bone, less than almond.
Blond - very pale yellow, as light as biscuit but with a hint of yellow.
Blossom pink - not as bright as rue pink, a very light version of dusty rose.
Bayberry - similar to aspen green, but a little lighter. Darker than sage, but same hue.
Bermuda coral - similar to peach but with a little more brown/tan.
Bone - slightly darker than white. Basically an "off-white."
Candlelight - similar to tan but with a little less brown/tan.

You are way overthinking this. You are not going to find the color molded in to the china. Just bring the tank lid in to a Kohler dealer and match up the color with their color samples.

Kohler does NOT put a color code on their toilets or tanks. You have to use a color chart, and good luck unless it is an actual china chip. ALL of those color descriptions use a bit of interpretation, and you missed Pink Champagne for one.
