Pretty sure Riviera blue is LK5S but I’d check for 100% if I were you.

Usually on a large paper sticker in/near the spare wheel well (assuming they've bothered to put it on in the first place, not unusual to find it missing) AND another identical sticker in the front of the service book.
An Audi dealer's parts dept will tell you the code if you give them either the reg or the VIN number. Have both to hand.
I would suggest you do that to avoid any doubt.

Nothing has come up for sure yet I’m afraid,Paintman is right really, hopefully someone on Pistonheads has got one or knows someone that has one so that I can get it right.
Thanks regards Andy.

That's PPG's own code for the colour.

Can it not be sourced using the PPG code?

Yes it can. Any motor paint factor who supply PPG can mix it up to that code. A huge percentage of European car makers use PPG as original paint.
