In your service manual, and in the boot, under the carpet, there is a data sticker with things like the VIN code, engine code, model name and code and paint code on it. One is shown in the thread below:

The paint code is the one beginning with L just above section 4 (all the three-character option codes).

The data sheet above shows a paint code of L S1H. This car was painted OVNI Yellow (S1H) at the factory.

What you are reading as a 5 is in fact a capital S. There aren't any codes beginning with 5

S7U is Platinum Grey
S7N is Arctic Grey Metallic

Ring your Stealer with the number that you can see through the bottom of the windscreen (passenger side) and Bob's your Uncle :D
