Bottom silver color!

Sounds like to me the silver was added on later. Unless you've had that truck a long time! Bcuz both of the codes will b inside the door jam. You need to take it to your nearest paint supply store and let someone help u match that silver up. I use to work in the automotive paint service . with a PPG store and back then when i worked which has been a long time now. They had gotten what was called the code reader machine. A small hand held gadget that all you did was place it on the color needing to be matched a few different times to see if it read the same each time and yhen when it had a match we'd take back into the store , hook it up to the computer and it would print out a label for that color. Or if your lucky you can be near a paint store that has a manager like i had that knew how to do everything ! Ecspecially color matching and tinting. But those are my suggestions for your silver color!

Edit: I forgot my story. It looks like page 9 shows the lower accents. YN is silver.

Nope, that's factory. My son in law has a 98 with silver under red.
