Welcome to AF, couple of possibilties, ok at the firewall under the hood, possible the body plate is there , also under the spare tire cover or on the under side of the deck lid.

Any major paint supplier can get or match the paint, they did for my 55 Chrysler!

the two that we normally use dont have it, and the browns are not coming close
if we new the name of the colour it might help .......

If you have the code that is that should be needed, something is wrong here. Also most high line paint suppliers can scan the paint with a camera and match it on a computer base, of course this costs money.
