I've gone down this rabbit hole trying to identify the grey used on a different prop..it's a fools errand I tell ya! 
Heres the path I went and was eventually able to determine the correct color:
1. Find a pic with a control color in the photo. Meaning a found part or another color you can positively I.D. (maybe the pic with the circuit board? ) and get your hands on the control color/part
2.Try and narrow down what paint may have been used on the real prop ( year, brand etc)
3. Buy a ton of potential paint contenders $$$$$
4. Paint test time! Try each of your potential paints in pics with your contol color..try and replicate the pic you have for refrence as close as possible. ( angles and lighting)
5. Put your pic in photshop and color correct it so the control color match, then see how your sample color looks compared to the real prop.
I did this with a grey ..and I have about 20 cans of grey paint to prove it..but I was able to figure it out. It's a long expensive process..but worth it if youre a lunatic about accuracy
Good luck!
