Any luck with this?
Just asked Chris about this. He works for Vauxhall, so should be able to track someone down who will know.
If that dosen't work then your next best thing is to take the colour to a paint shop (where they mix the paint for you) and ask them to match it up. You will obviously have to take a sample with you, i.e. a bumper.
EDIT: Apparently the Vauxhall bodyshop boys use 'Ford Euro Light Grey'. It comes in this rattle can.

Oh cool... maybe vauxhall allways used a random paint and never used their own coded stuff !
Apparently they come black (or very dark grey) and just weather to the colour we are trying to find.
I still think the best and surest way to find this colour is to take it to a paint shop.
the boys in the body shop said there is no pain code as the gte/gsi bumpers are sent through to be painted body colour and all the standard bumber's are sent through ready to fit but if they do a repair they use Ford Euro Grey paint they do a light, medium and dark and they match it as best they can
Fair enough... thanks for the infomation :)
Didn't you read my post??

EDIT:- Gave them a ring instead... They said it would be better if they could take a look but they think it's the:
COLOUR: Steel Grey
CODE: 82L
Oh right... sorry didn't see that .
Great, i'l get some of that and see if it's correct !
Nick, if you take a look in Nathans WIP thread, hes used a dark grey colour, that looks a VERY close match for the original colour.
