Royal Metal Upright Color Codes

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone here could please provide me a complete listing of color codes Royal had used for its metal uprights through the years?

The first three they'd used were gray, light blue and red. These are given the respective color code numbers of 100, 200 and 300 respectively.

1XX was used on all pre-2003 commercial uprights, and household models 601, 602, 603, 604, 3-604, 777 and 801.
2XX was used on models 870, 880, 881, 883, 884, 886, 887, 888, 990 and 85103.
3XX was used on models 880 (Electro-Hygiene), 903 and 980.

From 1987, additional color codes were added:
Dark blue = AXX (models 885, 992, 993, 994, 995, 996, 2025, 2028, 2075, 2078 and model 886 after 1991)
Burgundy = 8XX (models 889, 4000, 6000, 6005, 6103, 6500, 8000, 9000, 9005, 9089, 9700)
Black = 6XX (used on Stark Deluxe 5000NA and most Royal models from 2004)

Example 1: To specify the 305 attachment set in light blue, order part #1-305910-201.

Example 2: To specify the same attachment set in red, order part #1-305910-301.

Example 3: For dark blue tools, order part #1-305910-A01.

Example 4: For burgundy tools, order part #1-305910-801.

Example 5: To specify the 303 attachment set (with curved wands and spray gun) in light blue, order part #1-303910-201.
