Mine is gold speckled black, to give you an idea. Probably some kind of undercoat, such as gold, and then a grey of some sort. Gives it that shiny reflective look.

There should be a letter or number paint code on a sticker somewhere on the car that tells exactly what color it is, then you go to the automotive paint shop and they look up the paint code in their color computer. It tells them what colors to mix in the proper amounts to duplicate the original color. Try looking for the paint code sticker under the hood or on the firewall area, or maybe the door jambs.
