What is the color name/code of your 914-6?

One source states the color code for 6’s to be four digits.

This is complicated. Some very early cars have 4 digits or more like 9140430033 had 29/29 L.
up to 9141430395 most had just two digits on the badge. Past that VIN most had the 4 digit VW code beginning with L.
The factory documents like the CoA will show 4 digits ending with 10 which signified a black roof; but since all except 916 had the removable roof the 10 was redundant.

Read the second post carefully-the VIN has a '1' after the 914 indicating 1971 models. Can't just go by the last 5 digits

Yes, you can.

When people post something like "I have #374" they always mean '70.
If the car is a '71 or '72, people do include that info.
