have you tried Paint-Body-Shop-Supplies in your local area usually they can use paint chips to define your closest colour match and supply even in aerosol form

Give them all the vehicle details and send them a decent photo of the colour your after and they should be able to get it spot on.
Did you get the paint code from the sticker attached to the B post? Might be worth checking on service box characteristics to make sure the information is right.

You must have an early 206 then. You might find that you have the right colour, it's just your paint has faded over the last 13 years.
I'd still double check the VIN on servicebox just to make sure a previous owner hasn't dicked about with the sticker to make the car more saleable.
I'd also check the can and make sure someone hasn't been swapping caps about in the shop.

i have a 2000 model, i know its EYC because ive brought EYC parts before and its been a perfect match.
So if my paint has faded how will i get a good match from anyone?
