Default paint help

i have a 98 gsr that was repainted not to long ago green pearl. unfortunatly the fron bumper needed to get replaced so its the crappy black. since the green i got is a bit lighter, ive come to the conclusion that i cant match it(every shade i looked at was too off and too noticable) and i dont have money to get the whole front end painted just the bumper by someone i know who will give me a deal. i need opinions on a nice color that would look good if i cant match the green

i was thinking nighthawk black pearl maybe and the mirrors too because they need a respray.
opinions needed here


heres a photo from the back. same color just picture a black front bumper lol

alot of paint shops in seattle have this special camera that finds paint codes. They clean a spot on the car closest to the part that needs paint and take a picture. Then a machine will give you a paint code closest to it. To get it exact your painter will have to do some tinting.
