Glove box sticker. Likely the next to last (bottom) line.

Here's a pic of one, you can see the "57U" code in the middle of the next to bottom line:

Codes are in alphabetical order and codes that begin with a number are listed last.

The 57U is the RPO for the exterior color. The actual paint code a body shop would use is the 637R found on the BC/CC (base coat/clear coat) line.

Take your pick.
