Default Lexus RCF Track Edition Caliper Color?

Years ago i was able to match the GSF RCF Caliper Orange color with a prismatic powdercoat which was an exact match (RAL 2011). I have been trying for months to match the RCF Track Edition Caliper color with no avail. I have ordered tons of color swatches from prismatic and tried other colors i believed to be a match, all unsuccessful. I have connects at Lexus and even they say they cannot get the color code or find out what the color is. With that being said, I am putting it out there to the community to see if anyone has a connect or knowledge of the color. Although these calipers are Brembo's, I am not convinced the color is a Brembo color. Lexus was unable to answer whether they paint the calipers or Brembo does. If anyone could help with the color or shed some light on who i can poke next to determine the color, I would greatly appreciate it.
