Datsun 280Z Stock Paint and Interior Colors (US and Canada)

While the Datsun 240Z featured a very “70s” style paint color selection, the offerings for the 260Z and 280Z were a bit dimmer and less adventurous by comparison. Below are examples of all the available exterior and interior colors, as well as which combinations were offered, along with the years these colors were offered.
