Fixed your links for you.

The paint looks like a pearl, best thing to do is get to a proper paint shop, like autopaint, and they will match it for you, dont bother with idiots at halfords

Under ur bonnet is there not a plate containing a paint number\code of the car, i found out mine there.
Here's a paint colour guide, just match ur number\code to the correct colour of ur corsa

its been resprayed so it wont be the same colour as standard. better taking it to paint shop as said before to get the right match.
