It should be in the RPO Codes, I seem to remember getting the info on my paint when I typed them in (my car is 2-tone black and what GM calls "Hawaiian Orchid{Grey})

There seem to be alot of 2.8's up here with the Hawaiian Orchid color but all are two tone. I've seen it on Maroon And Blue cars but I dot remember seeing another black/H.O combo. I'm going to keep the color combo when I get it painted, I think it looks good.

There's two codes on the RPO sheet. They're at the bottom. One starts with "WA" and the other starts with "UA". Those are your color codes.
