Not sure what the easiest way is...

But a for sure way is to go to a dealership or parts department and give them your VIN# and they will be able to tell you the exact color code #.

I'm sure if you find someone helpful on the phone, you can get it this way as well.

It's on your inner door jamb (on the B-Pillar in between the driver and rear door). It's a 3 digit code somewhere on the same sticker that has your cars barcode, built in Germany note, and such.
