Default Finding out my exterior colour

Hey,

Before you tell me to go look at my cars' front door wherever the colour code is placed, look at the pictures and you'll see it's almost completely worn (no, it's not dirty, just worn).

The reason I'm doing this is I'm ordering an Adamesh grille and they need the paint code obviously.

Now, I found this pretty cool site where I could click on whatever colour the x-type was sold as and compare pictures, but I need some help from you expert lot.

All Jaguar X-Type Colors | GTCarLot.com

The car is blue but I can definitely say it is not either of the following ones listed on the site:

Glacier Blue Metallic 2007 X-Type Paint Code (JKH)
Indigo Blue Metallic 2006 X-Type
Midnight Blue Metallic 2005 X-Type

Those are all too light or too dark. This leaves me with three options,

Adriatic Blue Metallic 2002 X-Type Paint Code (HGN)
Pacific Blue Metallic 2002 X-Type Paint Code (JHM)
or
Ultraviolet Metallic 2004 X-Type (pictures of this one on the site is really confusing, one of them looks a lot like mine.

Now I don't know whether these colours were all the colours available or if there are more simply not listed on the site, I just obviously don't want to get the wrong code so I'm asking you for help.

Couldn't find anywhere online where I could look up the colour of my car with my VIN, but if anyone else knows a way of doing that here it is - SAJAB51L31WC08008.

Below are the some pictures of my car, let me know if you need more.

Too easy an answer = quit googling and call a dealer with your VIN. Presto, bingo answer received!
