official color of toyota

i was wondering what the official color of toyota was. like ford is blue, mopar is orange, well what color is toyota. i wanted to paint my trans the toy color since i am nearing the completion of my rock-crawler and have started to pain it.
or your thoughts on what color would look good on the tranny with blue tubes and a gloss black frame.

I think the official Toyota colour is "awesome".

I think this is as close as it gets to a Toyota colour:






That said, off white is a pretty common colour on older models and pretty much THE colour used in Africa, by the UN, and common everywhere Toyotas are used as work trucks.

I would say red or orange ... if the brand doesn't have a color, usually each nation does, for example dark (British racing) green for cars built in UK.

I would go with black or an aluminum color, it's stockish looking & won't stand out like a sore thumb. Like the other poster said, don't do the lime green thing!!!
