Here is a complete list of shades with codes for selecting paint or tinting:

  • 🔲 Super Black (KH3) — deep black without metallic, emphasizes premium quality, but requires frequent polishing.

  • ⚪ Pearl White (QAB) - white with a slight pearl tint, popular in hot regions.
  • 🟤 Khaki Metallic (GY0) - a rare “khaki”, reminiscent of a military shade, but with shine.
  • 🟢 Evergreen Metallic (GY1) — dark green metallic, almost never found on the secondary market.
  • 🟣 Amethyst Grey (KH2) - gray-violet, difficult to care for due to visible stains.
  • 🟡 Sunlight Gold (AY0) — golden metallic, relevant for the Middle East markets.

⚠️ Attention: Colors Mysterious Violet (KH2) And Jade Green Metallic (GY1) require special shampoos without wax when washing. Conventional products leave streaks due to the structure of the pearlescent pigment.

Third generation Teana (sold as Nissan Maxima) received the most modern palette with an emphasis on deep metallics and matte shades. There are no more experiments with bright colors here - only discreet luxury. There are only 8 shades, but each with a unique texture:

Super Black KH3 Matte/glossy Dual coating: matte for Sport, glossy for Luxury.
Gun Metallic KH1 Metallic “Military” gray with a greenish tint, hides dust.
Deep Blue Pearl KH3 Mother of pearl Dark blue with purple tint, requires polishing 2 times a year.
Pearl White QAB Three-layer It does not fade, but all the scratches are visible.
Scarlet Ember AR0 Metallic Deep red with copper shimmer, exclusive to Teana L33.

How color affects cost Nissan Teana on the secondary market?

Analysis of ads on Avito, Auto.ru And Drom.ru for 2023 showed that color Teana may change price by ±15%. The most “expensive” shades are those that are associated with premiumness and rarity. For example:

  • 💰 Super Black (KH3) And Deep Blue Pearl (KH3) — add 5–8% to the price due to demand.
  • 📉 Sunset Orange (AR3) And Passion Red (AR0) — reduce the cost by 10–12% due to a narrow audience.
  • 🟢 Jade Green Metallic (GY1) — neutral, but there are few such cars on the market, so the price is stable.
  • ⚠️ Amethyst Grey (KH2) - difficult to sell, as it requires the paintwork to be in perfect condition.

Interesting pattern: Teana in color Brilliant Silver (KAD) sells 3–5% faster than others, as it is considered “universal” and less easily soiled. But Premium Amber (AY0) from the J33 line, despite its exclusivity, loses in price due to the difficulty of selecting paint during repairs.

⚠️ Attention: Upon purchase Teana colors Storm White (QAB) or Pearl White (QAB) check your accident history VIN. White cars are often repainted after accidents, and the three-layer coating is difficult to restore perfectly.

How to care for different flowers Nissan Teana?

Every shade Teana requires an individual approach to care. For example, dark colors (black, blue, purple) show all scratches and stains, and light (white, silver) - dust and dirt. Here is a checklist for saving paintwork:

Wash black and dark blue shades only using a non-contact method (foam + rinse).

Use for mother of pearl (Deep Blue Pearl, Mysterious Violet) shampoos with pH 6–7.

Apply wax to metallics (Brilliant Silver, Gun Metallic) every 3 months.

For matte flowers (Super Black KH3) use special sealants without silicone.

Polish Scarlet Ember And Passion Red Once a year - these colors fade faster than others.-->

Deserves special attention matte finish Teana L33. It cannot be polished with ordinary pastes - only with special compounds for matte paint. For example, products Sonax or Poorboys. And for pearlescent flowers (Deep Blue Pearl, Mysterious Violet) Abrasive sponges are strictly prohibited - they destroy the layers of pigment.

What happens if you wash Mysterious Violet with regular shampoo?

The pearlescent pigment in this color has microparticles of mica, which upon contact with aggressive surfactants (surfactants) begin to “exfoliate”. As a result, the color fades, and in the sun, instead of shimmering, gray spots appear. Restoration will require professional polishing with the application of a protective layer of ceramic.
