Help IDing paint code, sticker worn on door

Hey guys,
I'm trying to buy touchup paint. I compared some colors online, swung and missed with WA9591. I was hoping one of you wizards could try to look at some pictures and recognize the paint.
There's a picture of the door sticker if anyone has a secret decoder ring also.
Thanks!

Y'know..looking at my own imgur album it looks like there's overspray on the door sticker. It might not even be whatever color it once said

Its not on the door tag. Look for the decal in the console under the armrest.

Ah thanks, I read some bad info.
Unfortunately my paint code in the console is WA8555 for "Onyx Black" and the car is blue so I'm still in a pickle

If its it’s been repainted I bet they didn’t go through the trouble of respecting the floor pans. You could check under the carpet and see if it’s actually black. It’s possible the console has been swapped.

what year is the car?

I was poking around on that website and I think it may be WA8751 paint from 86-87

Does your year still have the body tag on the radiator support?
It may have the paint color on it.
