If you have the door column sticker that says your vin, the color code is also written there ... it looks like this:

After a bit of searching, I managed to discover that myself, mine just has a 3 letter code,KJF which relates to Rouge Ardent. Would this be translated to English as Ardent Red? I know that's what it means in English, but when getting paint mixed, do I ask for the English or French version?

The code is all they need, they have the names regardless of language, it's the code that's important.

If yours i pearlescent,its not the same as mine, mine is a solid colour non metallic, but its obviously ardent red.

I was proving the code relationships mine being KJC, Eritrea red which is correct, so your code being KJF is Ardent Red.

Rouge Profond Metallic (KKQ) - or Deep Red Pearlescent on another site for the same code - Can't find a KKQD.

Thanks... Halfords typed in my registration plate and decided it was their wicked red... But it looks too light, even after clear coat etc
Confused as to why there's a 4 didgits code kkQD which is null on the searches... So it's just last 3 right?? It's a 2009 2.0 exclusive tourer hdi automatic... More of a burgundy colour tbh
Help... Please ....

First 3.. Sorry.

Ok, got it:
The first 3 letters are always the paint code, and the fourth letter is the type of finish - which will of course make a difference to the final look:

A = non-lacquered flat paint
B = superlustre solid colour
C = superlustre metallic paint
D = superlustre pearl paint
- - = spare locations for future needs
