Original paint codes are known for all but 12 of the 56 Caribbean convertibles. A few were shipped in prime but we don't know if that accounts for all 12 of the unknowns.

207 - 3-tone
31 - single color
25 - 2-tone

The most common 3-tone was MES (95 cars)
The least common 3-tone were EMS & MKC (1 each)

The most common 2-tone was VMV (15 cars)
The least common 2-tone were EME, LLN, MNM, NTN, PPV and VTV (1 each).

The most common single tone was V (13 cars)
The least common single tone was H (1 car)
