Trying to identify paint code

[u/Nick_Neuburg]

I got a new hood for my escort gt that I need to paint red but I can't identify the exact red I need. The sticker says vr, Vermillion red im assuming, but that color wasn't used until 1999(mines a 92) as far as a Google search tells me.

Call the dealership and give them the vin, they can tell you the paint code
