6681 is the build date of your car: February 23, 1995.
The paint code should be somewhere nearby, similarly stencilled in the format xyz-ab where xyz is the paint code and ab is the factory code.

On an S1 AX you'll find it stencilled on the RH inner wing between the strut tower and the washer reservoir filler neck..

Here's mine:

On later cars, it can be partially obscured by the engine ECU...

The paint code can be obtained from the VIN on servicebox if you cant see it on the bodywork.

Terribly sorry, but do you need to be registered to access servicebox?

If it's for your C5 VIN ending in 169, then your paint code is:

KGN - BOURRASQUE PAINT

If you post a nice picture of the car, (and the year of manufacture) we can probably work it out, as Citroen only used a limited range of colours at any one time.

And look at my last post in this thread for the AX paint code location and from that we can advise what colour it is ;)
