Interior paint(not another trim paint thread)

Hey whats up all, searched but couldn't find....I made a custom 2 gauge pod similar to what impulseballer made on my steering column. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is an exact or really close color that will match I could repaint it with? I dont want to go red like the rest of my trim because it would be out of place and dont want to go with too dark of a red. Is there a factory rematching color? Thanks, any help is appreciated! Ill post pics of it up later when its done.

flat black is what i've seen used on the guage bezel pods and it matches pretty good.

most popular paint lines have stuff called interior converter that makes automotive paint into interior paint. They can make it in flat semigloss or gloss it works good. Also sem makes a good interior paint and their flat black should match pretty good.
