another grille paint color question

I have done a ton of searches on here, but haven't heard anyone using the dark argent with the "correct" paint code.

Is the inner section of the grille darker than the outer "ring"? Not sure what's going on here.

Thanks.

Are those colors just for the Luv or is truck series 1,2,3 the full size trucks?

Edit: I ask because the colors they are specifying for different parts doesn't make sense to me and I've never seen matte black kick panels or blue grey glove box doors.

Great question. They're not very clear, are they. I think it's fairly safe to say the grille is NOT dark argent; it's regular argent. Luckily I have some Eastwood Argent in my cabinet of paint which I'll be using when I get to it.
