Default Paint codes

How do I get the paint code or name for my 2000 sporty? It is just a solid black color?

It's called Vivid Black, at least on my 1991.

Black is black, unless it's metallic or some almost-black color. Years of working at a bodyshop have taught me that with a black vehicle, don't worry about finding the paint code.
