i've got an LY5V and that one looks a lil darker than mine but it could just be the lighting... i'd say it's either the sapphire metallic LY5V, or Gemini Gray Metallic LZ7Z..

I believe copenhagen is dark as well as Platinum Metallic. You're left with Zermatt or Sapphire Metallic:

Of course, this is all assuming they stuck with an 83 paint code when repainting...
