Color codes

I’m trying to find interior color codes for my 2003 SL500 through the vin#. All the free sites on previous threads are in Russian. Where and how can I obtain this info?

Thanx, been to these sites, they only give accident reports. Please note I’m trying to find interior color codes, replacing interior parts that need to be color matched.

Both of those sites have the build sheet with color codes.

That is not a valid VIN, I think it should be 75F instead of 74F. That one is Tanzanite Blue/Beige 359U ext., 205A interior.
