The 1983 paint chip illustration at:

http://autocolorlibrary.com/cgi-bin/...oyota-pg01.jpg

... has 2 close colors:

401 / 'Shell'
557 / 'Cream'

The 1984 chip illustrations at:

http://autocolorlibrary.com/cgi-bin/...oyota-pg01.jpg

... show 2 different Toyota colors in that general 'ballpark':

4C6 / 'Ivory'
560 / 'Light Yellow'

I suggest you browse the autocolorlibrary.com chips ....

Most paint shops will have a color selection by year and manufacture.
Colors may not have a name, but they'll have a paint code.

This doesnt have to do with the paint color, but this might help you after you find the color.
