Interior Paint Color Matches

I'm about to order some SEM paint to touch up my SE's interior plastics:

Color Coat Aerosols | SEM Products

I'm trying to match up colors and thought we might start a database of which colors match our interior plastics best, given that so many people seem to like the SEM paint.

Here's the color card:

I'm about to order a couple of cans of 15303 Graphite for my gray interior. I'm pretty confident it will match, but I'd like to spray the center console bezel and I'm not sure which light gray/silver to get. Anybody have any experience with matching colors? What SEM (or other spray paint) colors match the maroon or brown interiors?

the 84-85 maroon is very close to SEM's burgundy. the OE red has a little orange in it, so the SEM is a little more red

Report:

SEM 15303 Graphite is an okay but not perfect match for off-gray interior plastic:



Before:





After:







Next time I'll probably try 15243 Satin Black, but it's okay for now.
