Find the SPID label on the underside of the center console lid. The paint codes will be in with all of the other options. If you look near the bottom of the label, there should be another set of paint codes separate from the rest of the spid. If my memory serves me, the paint codes in the spid are a 3 digit-alphanumeric code-EX 41U (black), 50U (white). The lower codes may look like this 41U,41L- (paint code 41, upper &lower-2 tone was available). If you PM me the SPID label contents, I can decihper the codes.
