...a different color from what I have it described on the title of my car, am I required by law to change that on my title?
You didn't ask but I'll say "dont' do it" anyway. To do all under the hood, door jambs, etc. *really right* will cost more than a cheap car is worth; on the other hand if you have something that's going up in value like a classic 'vette, changing the color will definitely reduce the value of the car to serious collectors anyway.
Don't even think about MAACO or whatever for a color change. Don't even go there...

I was just going to say that macco is something to stay away from also I would paint it the same colour so it still looks decent because it will match the colour of all the nooks and crannies.
I can't recall ever seeing the color of my car specified on the title. Are you sure it is? I've had several cars in which I would never have been able to tell you what color they are in plain language. My wife and I constantly argued about what color our cars were, almost as a leitmotif. We had one that I called red and she called brown, and one that I called blue and she called green, and one that I called blue and she called gray. I had one that was listed in the documents as Topaz, and I can't even think of another word for it. My dad had one of those three-tone '55 Dodges. Our last two cars were both gray, one gun-metal and one silver, as different as two colors can be.

My titles don't show color. I thought the same as you. Maybe OP is (unknowingly) thinking that the VIN should be changed to reflect the new color. I don't think that could even be done.
