I want to see all the possible colours: metalic etc. to decide on the colour of a Micra which is going to be a present... and if I did respray one to a different colour would there be a lot of DVLA documentation involved?
all you have to do is send off the V5 with a colour change filled in on it, and check out the local auto paint dealers for colour charts, if you see anything that you like the colour of and take it to them they will be able to match a paint to it.
