Where to find paint code?

While not specific to my 500e, I'd like to know what my paint is called. Where on the body can one find the paint code? Can it be deduced from the VIN?

Thanks.

Specifically interested because of this post: Entertaining Offers for One of a Kind 040 Black E500 (W124)

It's on a color-matched embossed metal decal in your hood. It is on the front where the hood latches to the grill. It'll have a whole bunch of numbers which correspond to your model, engine, color, and options.

I deciphered mine one time and they built it right! You'll have to search the web as there are a few sites which have all the codes.

Good luck and happy hunting.

(btw this was on my 500E as it may be different on others?)
