My best guess, is that its exclusive.

I have a database that i created with all the codes for trims, and 7TO isn't in there, so its something fairly niche.

hard to beat some balsa
Good shout I thought it might be honey birch but looking at an old catalogue its honey birch is 7TJ, and on that site it's T70, definatley not the vavona as grain is different. As IT says it might be one of their unknowns

ETKA shows T70 as birch grain honey. No 7TJ at all. All eight codes are as follows:

5TQ - Vavona (brown)
7L5 - beige - birch grain
T70 - birch grain honey
3J3 - grey birch grain
1WV - nut tree brown
4C7 - nut tree brown
7V7 - carbon
S44 - Assam grey
