The part is numbered 4 and 5 depending on the thickness.
With an impact hard enough to break a spring, other bits might be messed up at the top of the strut. There's a bunch of stuff up there that should be carefully examined.
So my point is: perhaps a mismatched spring was installed. The color coding, I believe, is a splotch of paint on the coil. You can verify the new one against the one on the other side.
