No idea, there is a “Contact Us” link at the bottom of the page, if you want to ask them why it is missing.

So I went ahead and contacted them, just out of curiosity. I received a reply indicating that their paint codes cover cars between 2015 and 2018. I believe that LBB wasn't offered on the M240 cars until 2020. If I have that right, then that would explain it.
