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 ....

 

Have you tried stopping in at a local bodyshop and see if they have that color in computer?

 

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.

 

here are all the paint codes for ... pretty much every toyota ever made...

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