Angry Wheel touch up paint

It eventually had to happen..... does anybody know what the color code is for the touch paint for the wheels is? Luckily, no gouge, just a small scratch.

Looks anodized to me. I don't think it's paint.
If it's just a scratch try a magic marker. Will probably match way better than paint.

If you can't find anything, find out who supplies the paint to your local body shops. I know here it's a Carquest and they do really good custom matching if you could leave your wheel with them for a day. I ran into this with one of my bikes that had custom Marchesini wheels that were gold metallic that got a scratch. They did an awesome match job & I think it was like $15 including the paint. After being touched up the scratch was awfully hard to see.

The order guide say that is Dark Graphite. I can't find Dark Graphite in GM's color list.

I was looking for this information over the weekend and couldn't find anything definitive. I began cleaning my wheels with one of these on Saturday:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E9E76F0/ and put about half a dozen scratches in the first wheel before I noticed that whatever was protecting the jagged metal tip of the brush was no longer there. I'll check with the dealer when I go in for the first oil change later this week to see if they can get the AC Delco paint to match.

To top it off, I opened the hood while the wipers were lifted off the windshield and heard the most awful sound as the passenger wiper scraped against the carbon fiber edge of the hood insert. May be able to wet sand that out, but it's not noticeable to anyone but myself.
