Default alloys, nearest colour match?

Hi, I have a v70 d5 2002 fitted with 17 amalthea alloys and have refurb one but the silver is too light. I used etech silver from eBay. also order a color match 936 bright silver but the paint mixer must be colour blind!! Have read that BMW titanium silver from halfords is a good match, any thouhts? Would spray the other but in good condition. Thanks. Chris

I have a touch up pen I bought a long time ago that matches the silver on alloy wheels excellently, it's Land Rover silver sparkle, if that helps at all.

I have used it on Peugeot, Jaguar, Vauxhall and Rover alloys, no specific type, I just needed the best match I could find and found that particular colour the best
