The colour code for your vehicle can be found on a plate on the near side passenger door pillar, lower portion, where the rear passenger lower door hinge is. At the bottom of the plate it will give LRC XXX, that is your paint code.

Another sure way is to enter the VIN code in Topix. It will also show the colour (not the colour code but the name).

..... the Colour code .... AND .... the colour name is on the plate.
For such a simple task VINs and TOPIX not needed, just the ability to 'open a door' Rolling Eyes
