Default Paint code

Ok so I'm looking for some touch up paint for my car. My paint code is LZ7H according to the build stickers on the car . The paint comes up as meteor Grey, YET my car is more of a blueish Grey than anything. I'm confused. My VIN indicates my car is the UK version of the A4. Not sure if that makes a difference. Anyone with info? Thanks.

Not sure why you think the VIN indicates the car is a UK market version, nor why you'd have a UK version in the US. UK vehicles are right hand drive, so it would be pretty obvious.

As to the paint code, you might start with the MY11 brochure and review the grays/silvers of the year. Meteor Grey pearl effect is definitely the darkest of the range, and it does seem like it might have a blue tint to it. https://www.auto-brochures.com/audi.html

Umm I think my VIN indicates the UK market because it does the beginning with letters indicates it ( US models are a number ) PLUS Audi told me themselves it was.

What is your VIN? Because if the steering wheel is on the left side of the vehicle, like any US market vehicle, it's not a UK market vehicle (which is all RHD, right hand driver, ie, steering wheel on the right).
