looks to be paint transfer from what you hit. have you tried rubbing it off to see if it comes off a little?

rubbing compound or gojo fast orange hand cleaner to remove the transferred paint. Now is a good time to invest in the side skirts to cover up the lower damage. But it maybe cheaper to have a bodyshop repair & paint the dent.

You might be able to compound some of that out.
