what paint for bumper inserts?

My front bumper has had damage in a previous life. The plastic insert which fits behind the bumper and is visible from the front as the black/grey horizontal strips, and the mesh effect bits at the side is broken. I have a replacement to fit but it needs paint. What colour should it actually be? I'm assuming a matt dark grey or similar but any specific recommendations would be great.

I have also sourced the blanking plate, nearside, and the mesh insert, offside, that cover the holes at each side of the bumper. Again, are these a particular colour/finish?

Thanks.

Just a quick update. I used the Gtechniq C4 product on the plastic covers under the bonnet and they came up really well. I used isopropyl alcohol to clean them up first.
I didn't do the grille piece in the end as I got hold of a grill in better condition and changed it when I changed the bumper.

I will try some interior bits over the winter.
