It is really hard to figure out the paint code from the door badge, as the code is not right under the term "paint code". On the 95s, the paint code is "WH" for Ultra Red, so look for that, but it may not be the same for a different year.
To make matters worse, I think the same colour got two different names in some cases, one for the advertising brochures, and another for the official code to do the mixing.
To know for sure, go to automotivetouchup.com, punch in the year and see the chart that lists the red choices for that year, then try to confirm on the door plaque.

The documents I have for '95 call it Crimson Red and paint code WH (which is how my car originated). I thought in 92 & 93 they called it Ultra Red and 94 & 95 it was Crimson, which was darker than Ultra Red?
