Default Best Paint that matches the Carbon Fiber Look?

I'm trying to find a good color code/ name that matches or look similar to carbon fiber hood and other carbon pieces. Im thinking of IS300 dark gray look but what else comes close to it Thanks.

I would go to a local paint supply shop with your car or CF pieces and get some color chips out in the sun next to the CF and go from there.

The Lexus color that you are referring to is "Smokey Granite".
Seriously though I think CF matches to just about any color and looks pretty damned sweet. Black, Red, Grey, White, hell even Green.

any metallic dark grey looks good. A good shop has a tool that they can put on the car or a part and match it very close to one the database. I would suggest calling around to your local body shops and asking
