looks green to me

When I worked mixing paint we never picked colors for a customer
We had a paint chip book for comparing
Lots of paint shops have electronic paint readers but thats not even 100%

The paint code is listed on the RPO code sticker which can be found on the inside of your glove box door. It will be on the bottom. Post a picture of the sticker for further assistance.

Sorry about that. That is what I get for looking at the title and picture from my phone and replying.

Have you tried Compnine.com? Or your dealer parts counter? Compnine.com will cost a few dollars for the service (at least it used to). The dealer may be reluctant, but usually will help you out. Both would only need the VIN to pull up the options, including the paint code.

Although, if you think that the color has been changed at some point, none of that will get you to the proper paint color. They will only get you to the factory color that the truck came with. If that doesn't match up properly to the current color, you'll need to get to a paint shop as stated earlier and have them color match it as best they can.

If you bring your truck to a automotive paint supplier (finishmaster or something like that) like swarklkk said they can color scan it and in doing that color scan it will get the closest color match to whatever is scanned so if you have it scanned have it scanned near where you what you want painted.

That way if your hood is faded but the doors arnt but you scan the doors it may be a shade off and silver is a hard color to match
