So, that is the real reason. It doesn't cost them more to paint a car a different colour when that colour is already available and ready to go. It's because of our environmental laws.
Americans still use freon in many of their car air conditioners. We haven't used that in over a decade.

There's a thread in which someone got confirmation from a reliable source that the paint colours on the Toyobarus are the EXACT same code used. Meaning they would consist of the exact same thing. Only unique colours, of course, would be the WRB in Subaru and the Hot lava in Toyota.
