color code

This is probably a pretty dumb question, but does anyone know where to find the color code for a '99 c280. I'm trying to order some touch up paint and the website needs me to enter the factory color code. Anyone know where to find this?

it should be on the metal plaque under the hood. its has a bunch of numbers. the color code is 3 digits. i.e. black is 040, silver is 744 etc. What color is your car?? or take a picture of the plaque and we'll tell you.
