NJ 85 GSL-SE Dash Insert Paint Color?

I have an 85 GSL-SE with grey interior. The dash insert (the part around the shifter, the ash tray, around the stereo, etc) was showing some wear. I wanted to re-paint it. The aftermarket paint that looked closest at the parts store was a little too light when I tried it. Is there any way of finding out the exact paint color for that area? or is it just guess work? Thanks.

I have two FBs, one with a brown interior and the other with maroon. I think the silvery gold color of the inserts looks OK with the brown, but I think it looks cheesy with the maroon. So I painted the inserts to match the dash and other surrounding parts. My point is that it does not need to be exactly like the original. I think a slightly darker grey would look good with the light grey you have.
