Exclamation Dash trim color code!

Hey guys and gals, I have a problem which I hope one of you gentle folk can help me with! The trim panel that houses the radio, hazards and the like, is in need of paint but I don't know what the corresponding color for it is. I guess it would be Ebony or Pewter, but who knows. Ergo, my predicament!

Does anyone know what the color code is for this piece of trim is? I've used trusty google to no avail. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!!!!!

Get silver to match your car.

Hmmm, I thought about it but it would look pretty bad. I would get a migraine from all the light reflecting of the silver. Besides, I'd rather keep it as stock as possible and have enough silver accents inside the car that doing that would be totally overkill. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Nope! I'm talking about the color code for the interior dash trim. Anyway, I ended up going to the dealer and they were fresh out. So I'm stuck with whatever I can use.

I painted the seat belt guides, the dash trim, the glove box and center console doors galaxy silver metallic. It looks great and gives the car a very different look. Thanks for the advice! I would have never come up with that idea. Now to paint the engine bay and the Turbo pipes while the turbo get powder coated.
