Wheel paint colour

How can I identify the paint colour of my alloys?
I've ground out some kerbing damage and I need to repaint. I can't even blame the wife I did a proper job on a kerb in a multi story car park that I didn't even see!!
I think it's this:

MERCEDES PAINT 9765 TITANSILBER MET. (RIMS)

But is there a way to check?
It's a 2016 C350E

Apparently it's Himalayan grey.

Thanks
I don't know what the data card is let alone where it is!
It is Himalayan grey but as someone noted above that's just the painted bits. the diamond cut bits are not painted.
I polished the scuffs out and gave them a quick spray with lacquer which is passable for now.

As and when I will take them all off and paint the whole wheel getting rid of the diamond cut polished bits by painting over the whole lot. I think they will actually look better all in Himalayan grey anyway.

Datacard is your car information which is provided using your VIN #. If you ask and provide the info a nice member could send you your datacard, but only if your nice. Just my humble thoughts.
