I still have the colour chart which I had before I ordered my 95 VSX.
Red solid colour (ie non metallic) - Venetian Red. Very bright red - wouldn't call it maroon.
Metallic there is Maple Red which is a maroon and Morello which is a very dark purply colour.
Unfortunately the trim colours for the LX were the same regardless of paint colour.
There are no codes listed but reference to my Haynes manual tells me that your car's paint code is stamped on the right hand bulkhead. A trip to your Citroen spares place should assist.

My Xantia is Maroon and it's Paint Code is KJWCR ( ROUGE HERMES )Dupli-Colour 5-46. This paint code as Kerad says is on the right hand side of the bulkhead ( Cambelt end of engine ) behind the sphere.
There is the paint code 5 letters and the RPS code ( for ordering spares ) 4 numbers, mine are in yellow paint. If you go to your Citroen Main Agent and quote this code they will sell you the correct touch up paint.

If you look under the bonnet, at the back under the driver side area the colour code is painted on (5 letters), above the bulkhead. You can't mistake it. Just got some paint and lacquer for mine, £5.99 a go, did a good job on the faded tailgate :-)
