A late response and maybe by now you have already figured it out, but Yamaha never released proper paint codes for any of their bikes.
The Red/Silver TRX is called Vivid Red Cocktail, but good luck going to a paint shop and asking for that. It means nothing to a paint mixer.
Frames and wheels never even had a description, only the fairings.

Hadn't a problem getting my blue matched by a paint mixer. - the white sticker on the fame under the rear seat has a code B which then translates to the G16 code - it was a perfect match
