Default What are the actual names of Monte Carlo colors?

I have a 2003 white monte and I was just wondering what the color option was called? I bought rims and I'd like to paint them the same color as my car. I'm pretty sure duplicolor does not sell an exact match but does anyone have suggestions on what paint color I should buy that matches my white? i know there are 100's of shades of white and I don't want to spend money on the wrong thing. I'm spray painting because I'm too poor to take to a shop Lol

Feel free to post any color names you know about such as I know that the silver ground effect on 00-05 monte's, the color is called "Galaxy Silver"

Well I know that mine is Medium Regal Blue Metallic.

In later years they changed Galaxy Silver to Silverstone Metallic...it's a darker gray. There's a cappuccino frost also. Laser Blue Metallic, Superior Blue. Those are the only ones I know

Yeah, there's a sticker under your drivers side door and on your trunk that should have your paint code on it. Then a lot of paint companies have a paint code decoder on their website, you enter your paint code and it'll give you the best match in their paint. Or places like O'Reily's can help you w/ it too by using your paint code. Then you don't need to know the exact name. Also, try this link > http://www.gmtruckhq.com/exterior-mo...odes-2740.html
