B168, same as mine.
I bought touch up paint from holden (about $13 - $14). Mine didn't match the best. It may have been because i did a fairly average job of it, or that i'm trying to match old with new, but if i used or use this thread: How to fix those little scratches i reckon i'll get better results.
I just checked the bottle and it says b168 so it is as close as you will get.

I got a small bottle with a built in brush from my local Holden dealer for $20. The internal brush is OK but you can get a better job with a really fine artists brush. Mine's black so any touchups stand out like dogs nackers as do the smallest of stone chips.

go to a panel shop and get the color mixed and then also get it matched to the panel mite cost more but looks way better in the end cos it will be closer

not really, the colour code will be pretty much spot on.
Colour matching doesn't work that well when you are matching old with new, at least that's what I was told.
