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
