Have you tried contacting Color-Rite for paint? I've used them many times and gotten perfect paint matches.
here's a link to their web site -- http://www.colorrite.com/
Hope this helps you

yeah I did but they only go back to 1990 I was looking at the 2000 venture millinium edition paint that might work

1990 might JUST be what's on their website. I'm pretty sure if you give them a call, they can come up with just about any stock color.

Just ride your bike down to the local auto parts store that sells paint in your area, grab their color book , take it outside and match it out of the book. Chances are you will find the exact color in one of the books as Yamaha isnt mixing special paint for these bikes (Idont think so any way) If you are painting the whole thing I dont think it will matter much if you dont find the exact color you will find something close enough that no one will know the difference if you cant find the exact color. But I imagine you will find the right color in one of the books.
