Jaguar XK 120 Silver Paint?

Hi folks,
Pardon the intrusion because I am a Healey guy (1960 BT7 and a 1959 Bugeye), but I have a question for you. I am restoring my Big Healey down to the last fastener and back. I am remaining true to the car's heritage on most points but I plan to paint the car silver, a non-healey color, and will use a red leather Heritage interior. I want a "white" silver and have considered the modern BMW titanium silver and the VW silver. However, I would really like to use a "period" silver if possible. Tonight I was reading my July Octane magazine which has a gorgeous silver/red XK120 in it. I couldn't find the model year identified in the article anywhere, but if anyone else has seen the car and knows the color name and code I sure would appreciate having the information. Can anyone help? Thanks!
