Code Versus Color Name

So My cobalt is Blue Granite Metallic and the code comes up 928L but that code comes up stealth grey, is there any way that I can tell a difference before I buy. Because that is the name that keeps coming up with that code.

Is it difference or did GM like to stay true to form and change the paint names every 3 weeks.

Because the two look very different.

take a look where your spare tire is, there's a sticker to the left of it i believe and look for the number that ends in the letter "U" that would be your paint code

No "u" as not all paint has a code that uses a "u",, the color that the code on my balt has (928L) shows the color as being for stealth grey metallic but my balt's color is Blue Granite Metallic

Sorry, I'm an idiot, base coat clearcoat. Whoops. Sorry, so stealth grey would be my lower, now I just need to look and see what my upper would be.

Never mind, just a 46U but what I want to know is why they didn't put it to the right of the BC/CC like it's supposed to. But it still shows the code as being stealth grey even for the 46U
