Fascia colour… going insane

Hi guys,

I did a MIB1 to MIB2 8” upgrade on my 2013 MK7 Golf.

Came up well it’s an amazing upgrade and feels like the car is 5-10 years younger!

I am now trying to get an 8” fascia to replace the original fascia, ordered one from Ali Express in “dark grey” because of the three colour options being “piano black” or “brushed silver” dark grey seemed the right choice however when it arrived this week it’s slightly too dark and I am not sure if that’s because the fascia changed colour at some point, the colour itself is defective or something else.

The part number of the original fascia is 5G2819743 but that seems to match a few colour variations so I am having a hard time determining the colour and then finding an 8” fascia to match.

Even went as far as downloading a 2014 MK7 catalogue to try and get some clues there but couldn’t track down and reference to the specific colour or colour code… it’s a mid-grey with a slight piano look but it’s definitely not black and definitely not a brushed effect, any ideas on the colour and/or where to source a matching 8” fascia?

Thanks,
Wilson.

Found some posts online that this could be the “polar night” colour, does that sound correct and is there an 8” fascia in that colour?
