Hi, mine is the Arctic Silver, and recently had to have a new slam panel ( accident not my fault....honest 
) but the engine bay colour is different, and as you say its a flat light grey colour.,
I couldn’t find out what the colour was either, so just took the old damaged slam plate to a sprayer and asked him to colour match as the replacement one was black. Still dont know what the actual colour is but the match was pretty good.
Edit.....I could ask them if they keep a record of the paint mix

if you a a touch of rust like i had have a look a t hammerite grey it looks about the same on mine
also hammerite silver is the same as a bmw silver
Mazza is spot on. I spent ages researching this for my Titan Silver. In the end I had to have rattle cans of paint made up to match.
Mine was gloss - I was doing the whole thing. But it should be more satin.
I think they were about £15 a time from a local auto paint specialist.

There has been a few posts here and there I have read about this from what I gave read on the sticker the large word is the external body colour and small is base colour.
In your case Arctic silver.
But the base colour is a non metallic colour.
( unlike Arctic silver external colour which is )
On both my zeds which are both non metallic exterior colours ( Dakar yellow, turquoise green) the base colour is also Dakar yellow and turquoise green just an un lacquered version.
As for where to get the under bonnet colour sorry cant help there but like @mrscalex said a colour matched spray can may be the way to go .

Probably not going to be of much help but what I can remember from when I had my car repaired was that the under bonnet paint work was a base coat Arctic Silver Non Metallic while the exterior was metallic.
I thought that was the case aswell.
