Alabaster Silver or Satin Silver

Before anyone asks, I did search about this topic and found a bunch of results from those. Satin kinda has a blueish tone to it as compared to Alabuster. My question is I'm not sure which color is my car. Dealer record shows that it's the ASM whereas myacura is SSM. So, how do I know which one is the most accurate? If I want to get the a-spec kit, I need to know the exact color. Btw, mine is an 05 base.

You have SSM. I believe the paint code on the driver-side door jam is NH623M; I also own the '05 SSM TL.

as stated 04-05 = SSM
06-08 = ASM

and just to be sure; you could always look on the drivers door jam. on the little build placard you will see the paint code.
