Do you want modern or historic mix codes?
I think that color crosses to Ditzler mix code 12000. As for the factory paint mix, a bit of searching found this page:
http://karmannghia.org/paint_chips.html
And from there, dug up the page shown below for the mix code you are looking for.

Well, you might inquire paint shops with that Ditzler 12000 code I mentioned earlier, that's also a PPG code, and if you get lucky someone might be able to find that one for you.
