Default VIN decoder

I entered my VIB into the decoder because I was trying to find out exactly what exterior color my 2012 A7 is. It's black. It's actually more of a charcoal. So I guess it most likely the Havana black metallic? But then there's also a Phantom black pearl effect.
The decoder gives me all the info EXCEPT color. Gives me a code to match but nothing resembles anywhere in VIN.
My interior is nougat brown.
Anyone have any suggestions to find out which it is. I'm curious to know for sure.

There is a sticker on the door post that gives you the color code. There is also a sticker under the cargo cover near the spare tire, that also lists the paint code.

Get the info from fkaufman's suggestion. Then go to 2012 Audi A7 Colors of Touch Up Paint and you can see which one it is. I have Phantom Black Pearl effect A7, and it's very black.

Maybe Oolong Gray Metallic?
