Not sure if I can be of assistance but having spent the majority of my life in the switchgear business one must bear in mind that most of our products and the manner in which they are packaged rely totally upon other sciences.
Most notable of which are not just mechanical engineering but also the world of chemical engineering including painting techniques.
The expense and knowledge required to set up professional painting processes has for a long time involved the need to sub contract any such needs to contractors. They in turn, as well as their clients look to standards for such processes as well as colours. To cut a long story short probably the most standard colour ever used not just for this industry but also office furniture is RAL 7032.
I reckon it would come close to the original requirement discussed hereof; this link refers https://www.ralcolorchart.com/ral-cl...32-pebble-grey
