where to find the color code

[orinoco74]

I have an x reg 1.8 Xantia , it has a few scratches on the bumper and i was going to get some paint for it from Halfords but i just cant find the paint code to have it matched. Its the dark green color, where can i find the paint code, any ideas?

It's normally stencilled on the bulkhead behind the OS front strut, but if you post up the last 8 digits of the VIN we can look it up on service.citroen.

where does it tell u on the service site, i can find almost everything but the colour.

Service pages didn't show the paint code or name for my previous car (Xantia) but for my current C5 II paint code is seen.

After entering VIN number, you can check it from the Vehicle --> Characteristics section in service pages.

As RichardW already told, easiest is to read it from the "bulkhead behind the OS front strut"
If it's metallic dark greeen it's most probably paint code KQH which is called as Vert Vega (Emerald green)

So your car's paint code is as I guessed , KQH (Emerald Green / Vert Vega)
Since it's a year 2000 model the paint code might on the door sticker (driver's side) where tyre pressure are given.
I'll send the rest of the availbale information on your car by PM.
