Re: Correct color code

I'm only guessing that you got those codes from the site's Paint X-ref; it shows French Blue as code S, which appears to be in error. I believe French Blue is Code Z in both 1940 and 1939; Niagra Gray, which is missing from the list for 1940, is Code.

As for what year, the patent plate should show a vehicle/serial number that would reveal the Series, which can be translated into a model year. However, your Registry listing (to which Mal pointed the way) shows body number 1395, which is a One-Twenty Club Coupe from the 18th Series - the 1940 model year.
