Confirming the cars original colour:

The paint colour and code was printed on a label under the bonnet to the left of the ID plate (See images for a better description of the location and type of sticker). Of course, labels can easily go missing by peeling off over time, or are removed during restoration. If the label is missing, your best bet is checking under the carpet on the transmission tunnel or on the inside of the firewall for signs of an original colour, and trying to then match it - assuming you are wanting to restore the car to its original colour specification.
