What color of silver came on 2007 E classes?

I have a 2006 E55 AMG and I'm looking to buy a replacement part off a 2007 E350. The seller does not know the paint code. Does anyone know if these 2 shades of silver will be the same because I remember Mercedes changing from brilliant silver to another one.

these are the major silver colors that I know of, there are others that have "silver" in the title but they aren't exactly silver:

brilliant silver metallic code: 744
iridium silver metallic code: 775
Palladium silver metallic code: 792
designo silver metallic code: 693

EDIT:
I believe brilliant silver was discontinued in 2006 and replaced by iridium silver. What is the paint code of your vehicle?

My car is C775. I have no idea what the color of the replacement part is. It just looks silver and the seller doesn't have the details other than it's silver and belongs to a 2007 E350.

Chances are the donor car is iridium silver as well.
