Default Touch up paint without a paint code?

So, I have a rock chip on the hood and I needs some touch up paint. It's in a very visible spot, so I'd like a better match than just eyeballing it.

Trouble is, for some unknown reason, the previous jerk-*** owner peeled the paint code sticker out of the trunk, so I don't have it. I never noticed until now. (I've had the car for 5 years)

Does anyone have any suggestions for touch up paint, what code or name to use, or where I should get it? Will any silver do?

Contact a dealer with your VIN. They should be able to get it that way.

I would not use that to find your paint code.
