Default How to find what color code my A6 is?

Alright, I am trying to figure out what the color of my car. The car is a 06' C6 A6 and is a nice color silver with some flake. I know they have several different colors of grays. You can see the color in my gallery.

I am unable to find any label with any paint codes on it. Is there a way to find this or is the label under some trim that I am missing. I have looked everywhere, at least I think.

Bring your VIN to an Audi dealer parts counter - they can decode it for you.

It's probably Light Silver Metallic:

Alright, I think your correct it is the Light Gray Metalic. However, there must be a more sufisticated name for it?

...and this site has an even more complete list of all the paint codes used by Audi by model year. The label listing all of the information about the vehicle that is usually in the spare wheel well is also in the service book so easier to find
