Default gauge pod painting

so i have a a-pillar gauge pod ready to install.... i would like to color match it to my interior.... my interior is the 1998 pewter i think GM calls it... its GM color for 1997 to 1999... anyone know of a dead match... manufacture and part number would help....thanks

just to clairify
93 to 96 was GM graphite (dark gray)
97 to 99 was GM pewter (med gray)
00 to 02 was GM ebony (black)

if i got the GM color names wrong please correct me

HVP111 Charcoal Gray
here is a pic of it , its the cup holder section, not sure if it would match 97 to 99.... opinions
