touch-up paint question

I'm looking to buy touch-up applicator paint for my 2007 Accord and 2004 GMC Sierra. I went to Duplicator's web site and found, what i think are the colors,but i want make sure the paint codes are the same as the #'s on the VIN.
I believe there is some way to read the VIN to get color code #'s. Can someone direct me to VIN code reading?
Thanks

I don't believe that the 17 digit VIN identifies the paint colors. Check elsewhere under the hood, inside the trunk lid, or on the door post. It may be identified in one of those places.

I've decided to go to the dealers. There are many number and letter codes associated with the touch up paints that i will err on the side of caution. Nothing like touching up with the wrong color paint.
