NH 731P is the Nissan paint code for a pearl-white finish; the exact shade name can vary by market and model year. In practice, it’s treated as a pearl white in service catalogs, but always verify against official Nissan sources for your vehicle.
Understanding the NH 731P code
The “NH” prefix identifies the Nissan color family. The numeric portion “731” selects the specific shade within that family, and the “P” suffix typically signals a pearl or pearlescent finish. Because color naming isn’t standardized across regions, the same code can be described as Pearl White, Pearl, Ivory Pearl, or a similar variant in different catalogs.
The following steps help map the code to the color name for your model and market:
- Check the paint code sticker or spec label on your vehicle (often located in the door jamb or inside the glove box) to confirm it shows NH-731P or NH 731P exactly.
- Review the vehicle’s window sticker or the owner’s manual for the color name Nissan lists for that code and year.
- Consult Nissan’s official color catalog or contact a local Nissan dealer’s parts or service department for the precise color name and its regional designation for your model/year.
- For repairs or repainting, ask a body shop to cross-check the code against their Nissan color database to ensure an exact match for your vehicle’s year and trim.
By confirming the code on the vehicle and cross-referencing official catalogs, you can ensure the correct color is used for touch-ups, repairs, or full repainting.
Regional variations and how they affect naming
Color naming and exact shade presentation can differ by country, model, and production run. Some markets may list the color primarily as Pearl White, while others may use a descriptive name like Ivory Pearl or Snow Pearl. The underlying code (NH 731P) remains the reference for color matching, even if the spoken or printed name changes by region.
Practical tips for sourcing the right color
When planning a paint match, rely on the code rather than the name alone, and provide the dealership or shop with the full code (NH 731P) and the model/year for the most accurate match. Bring photos of the vehicle in typical lighting to help with visual verification.
Summary
NH 731P is Nissan’s paint code for a pearl-white finish. The exact color name associated with the code can vary by market, model year, and region, but the code itself is the reliable reference for color matching. Always verify with official Nissan catalogs or a Nissan dealer to ensure an exact match for your vehicle.
