The factory repair manual (
TOYOTA 2016-2019 4Runner Repair Manual RM27F0U) makes no mention of paint codes. See page 5140 for the front springs and page 5177 for the rear springs.
As I said before, the end of the springs must be seated correctly in the notch of the top and bottom plates. The paint codes are meaningless.
