Porsche atlas grey vs meteor grey

It's time to paint the Z and I need some help from you guys regarding a color scheme I found on this Z.

The article says it was painted Porsche atlas grey, but my eyes say it looks more like meteor grey. This post shows a comparison of the two colors.

Does anybody happen to know the Z in question? Thanks for the help.

Definitely. I picked the metallic meteor gray with a metallic chrome silver for the stripes.  I was able to see both in person and really like the combo.  I hear ya with the dark paint...can never keep clean.

 

That's Mark Rolston's 240z. 

I saw that in the article.  I was hoping him or somebody who knows him was on the forums and could chime in to confirm my suspicions.

It's been a while, but the car was painted.  I haven't seen it in almost 5 years, but I'll be picking it up next month.  Really looking forward to tearing it back apart and putting some finishing touches on my LM7 swap.
