Default Paint code

Hello again fellas,
I need to do some touch up paint work on my car and am wondering if any of you can explain the following paint code.
The code is LY7W/LY7w. I am wondering what the second series after the slash indicates as I can find pait with the first part before the slash but nothing if I enter the number fully.
Thanks
AG

Auditech,
Again thanks for the info. If I might impose on you, could you tell me what this code is and if it would be correct for the original color code. All the touch up paint I can find with the LY7W first series has a B5 after the slash. It reads LY7W/B5. Is this the US way of dealing with the code?
Thanks again
AG

I think so, but for touch up paints your only gonna need the first set of numbers LY7W.
