Like plated said go look at some paint books at a paint store or just drive through car lots and look at new cars.

The other option is to find a new car who's color you like, and have the paint shop look up/mix up that color for you!

I looked everywhere for my car... New car lots, car shows, I have even asked people I saw in a parking lot to get their paint code off the car I liked it so much. For the 2 tone paint I have on the stang I ended up getting the silver code from a guy that was in Cavalacade of Customs back 8-10 years ago, ended up being a Mopar wheel color, the black is off a Lexus or Mercedes if I remember correctly. I tried looking in the paint books, but it was to overwhelming to try and amagine the small swatch on a full car. Once you do find a color, spray up a test panel. I was in between 3 silvers and 2 blacks so I sprayed up the test panels, took them outside and knew instantly which colors I wanted.

Anyway, good luck.
