Check the label in the glove box that has the RPO's for parts listed.

So far, I have done this with white paint, and I use toothpaste to cover up the scratch. Comes fairly close. Maybe crayola crayons for the others???

In the example pic below, U 382E is the "WA" paint code for this model year 2000 car which is painted Light Pewter Metallic. Your car's "WA" paint code should appear in the same place on its RPO label. The following link also shows the "WA" and other paint codes for the 2000 model year C5 (see "Paint Codes" toward the bottom of the link):
