how do you find color codes?

i am looking to find a factory color code off of two cars: 03 toyota stratosphric (sp chk) blue mica and 03 toyta rav4 spectrum blue mica. are thier websites that list the color codes? i don't want to have to go to a dealership to get it off the car.

even though its a rav4, if you ever see this color it is pretty badass and i think a certain rx7 should have it.

Call or go to your local paint supplier or body shop. The paint companies put out books and list each car makers colors seperatly with a sample of the color.

If he had the paint then that would help, he is looking for a code. There are VERY few shops who have that colormatching device, usually the paint supplier has one but not the body shops themselves.
