Default looking for silver paint options

hey all, i am wondering what silver paints are out there that look. I am looking for a Grigio titanio type of color, sort of a darker silver, with maybe some blue in it. Anyway, it would be helpful if anyone knew any paint codes from House of Kolor or PPG, thanks

In the PPG Ferrari catalog:
Body is 704C Grigio Titanio Metallic, 37032. And yes, it does have a definite blue cast as well as an iridescence that makes the Corvette silver look dull by comparison.




Stripe is 703C.97 Canna Di Fucile Metallic (gun metal), 37217. Depending on the lighting, this one has more of a slight bronze cast to it.
