Not sure if there is a Subaru paint code if thats what you are after, I doubt it.
But Carl Davey who refurb's the manifold, amongst other things, says you can no longer get the exact match.

Vht Crinkle Paint on Frost Auto Restoration Techniques

The red is a perfect match, although the final colour can vary based on the prep and application of the paint, it's this paint that everyone uses though.

I've used the old and new and noticed no difference, the biggest difference comes from how thick you put it on, the thicker you go the darker it becomes. If you want to paint your inlet manifold that is the paint to use, end of story. If you want to waste your time arguing go right ahead.
