Looks silver but the color code is on the vin tag in the engine bay. Should be a 3 digit number.

That is the color code. I guess I don't understand what you are talking about.

I usually get my touch up at the stealer. My local stealer chares $10 more than the one I actually order from. University Volvo in Charlotte NC.

worst case you can always call a dealer and give them the last 6 of your vin and the year and they can tell you the code and the sales description. and yes overcharge you for touch-up paint. you can also give the paint code to a good body shop and they should be able to mix it up for you as well. a really good body shop can actually "scan" your paint and get an exact match of your faded color so it will match exactly...
