Paint codes from other Renaults

Hiya this is a weird one:

My grey 197 is looking worse for wear, and I'm considering options for a respray.

There's a gorgeous colour of Clio Mk5 that parks near me (a metallic sky blue), and I like the idea of keeping it Renault even if I go outside the 197's factory options, but I've not had any luck finding that paint code even with the reg plate.

Is there an easier way to find out (I'm happy to DM the reg plate to someone with insider lookup tools), or should I just tuck a note under their wiper and hope they're nice enough to give me a look at the data sticker?
 
Go on a Renault dealer website and spec a clio with that colour, then email Renault UK and ask them the colour code.

Thought of that, the current range only offers 7 spec colours and none of them sky blue. I might try to take a look at used models though. I'm pretty sure it's likely to be Bleu Energy or Bleu Celadon, but it looks so different in a photo than it does in person, I can't trust any online examples.
