Which "silver" Is My Avensis?

[Magrat]

OK, this is an odd question. I have a 56 plate (2007 body shape) Avensis, bought a couple of weeks ago. Some kind soul has scratched it whilst in a car park, and I wanted just to touch up the scratch.

Thing is, I am not sure which "silver" my car is. On the reciept is just says "silver", but looking online there is "silver steel", "silver fern", and some other silver I can't quite remeber. Is there any way to tell which is which?

Thanks!

LCO doesn't exist, the dealers handwriting in the book is appalling, transpires it's a 1CO which is Millenium silver. Thanks guys!

I'm hoping I'm not doing anything wrong and have no relationship with this company though their website shows where to look on the door jam label for paint code information for both the Toyota and Lexus range of cars:-

Paint Codes for all Toyota and Lexus Cars

Am sending this for anyone else interested in discerning their correct paint colour/code
