I don't know the paint code but if you can get it then go to your local Halfords and they can make you up a pot to order.

I bought some wr blue touch paint code 02c from my local halfords and it was a good match and reasonably priced.

Most places now will sell you a crap water base touch up but i belive halfords do an acrylic base paint, much better for touching up I'm a sprayer and i still get my touch up from halfords

I've had a nightmare trying to get touch up for mine - can't get it from a Subaru dealer, or get the proper paint code.

Did get some off Ebay in the end, which isnt a perfect match, but is close enough for the few small chips I was touching up and isnt too obvious.

when i needed gold touch up for my old rota alloys i went to halfords and they let me take out the colour match samples out to the car and then compared them and found a perfect match mine was saab golden sand,you get a good sized pot for not alot of cash.
