My car was BRG. I was told it was real Jaguar paint. I had a rock hit a door and it crackled the panel [it was carbon fiber but the mat was laid in a traditional fiberglass resin]. Anyway, I called HST who made the car and they said not only do we have your color but we have your paint so I shipped it to them and it was a perfect match. But I never did find out what actual paint code it was.

I will note that it was a very deep color - lots of "depth". It was also very dark, so if you have an aversion to the maintenance of black paint with all of the microscratches that eventually appear, be aware that BRG will trigger the same OCD reaction. It was impossible to keep clean - have it out in the world for a few minutes, it gets dusty. Wipe it down and the first part is dusty before the last part is done, even with the small size of the Cobra...
