That's my color! WOohoo.

There should be a paint code label somewhere on the car. Maybe in the door jamb as part of (or near) the build info. The best thing to do for any color matching is to find the code.

If it was an '06 US model, that's Galaxy Gray. But other years had different named grays.

As others have said just check the door placard. The color code should be there. For example, my "black cherry mica" is 28W. It's best to go by the code rather than color name as the name can vary, e.g. my '05 Shinka color is called "Brilliant Ebony" on the '04 Miata, but they're both code 28W.

^ beat me to it. If it's 05 it's likely the Ti Gray. But like others have mentioned, there should be a code on the sticker along the driver's side door.
