Jaguar S Type R. colour code confusion

Hello I'm looking to buy some aerosol spray paint to spray a small bit of rust on the wheel arch that will need attending too.
I have a 2004 Jaguar S Type R
The paint code is 1959/PEF which to my eye is a metallic black. However when I try to buy the paint online I get multiple results which are.
Midnight black
Midnight blue
And midnight pearl
I am so confused at which one my car is and why I'm getting different results from different websites.
I have looked at Google images at the above colours on a 2004 Jaguar S Type and they all look slightly different but this could be down to camera angles and sunlight in the photos.
Can anyone shed some light on my problem?

Midnight Pearl, meaning black & pearl

If you want a good job my advice is don't DIY, not this stuff...

(Mine's JRG Pearl)

BTW, any jag franchise can print you out a LONG list of details of many things like this, usually they don't even charge...
