It's a four-letter code, and will be printed on the sticker affixed to the driver's A-pillar.
Your car, I suspect, is painted with "Platinum Silver", a varnished metallic paint, which will have the paint code EYCC.

Aluminium Grey, which is a 307 colour, I believe; I don't think it was ever on the 406 (but please correct me if I'm wrong). It's a varnished metallic paint.

The picture really isn't great. I guess that colour could have made it to the 406; if it's the paint code showing on the A-pillar sticker then that would be confirmation.
Either way, I wouldn't risk taking parts off the car as the colour difference could well be far too noticeable to live with.
It is a sh*t photo - I hate it when eBay sellers do that. It's an absolutely tiny image and doesn't help any potential buyers!
