Sadly as far as I'm aware Yamaha don't sell paint beyond touch up sticks for bikes, oddly they do for outboards! They'd rather sell you a new pre painted parts :rolleyes If you don't want to buy new parts you're going to have to go the paint shop route who will match the paint. That's as you've found out where the fun starts as they use other paints in a cocktail to match the colour and then call it whatever, some are really good at it others utter crap. if you're thinking of doing it yourself, some makeup /supply the paint is various types of paint ready to go through a spray gun and will do it in aerosole.
What is odd, in the picture your bike appears to have a silver frame? Yet the frame ID label code 4S8B- 050 C is for a black frame according to a source of mine and backed up by https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/browser/m...metallic-c
Have you changed the frame or did the previous owner/s that you know of? A good few bikes get written off due to frame damage which pushes them beyond economical repair. Which are either sold back to owners or salvage who fit a new frame and sell it on. I don't think frame colours are on a V5.
