Should be on the VIN plate or the Norweigan (sp) equivalent thereof. Normally on the slam panel or maybe (like mine) on the suspension turret. It's a 3 digit number you're looking for.

For example:

Metallic Sports Blue = 449

the color code is 608 as JB said ,you can find this on your oval plate . its that 3 numbers on the second line from the bottom of the oval plate .

that btw ,does not look like gunmetal grey to me (might be the picture)
double check from the plate

Yes but have you noticed where 'Henriko' lives?

You fancy finding out the postage for a car door to go to Norway?
