Default Wheel centre caps red paint

Hi again, my wheel centre caps on my 99 xkr are a bit shabby. I've seen the videos where you can refurb them yourself and wondered if anyone had any recommendations for the red paint jaguar used. Any suggestions for a colour match? Also does anyone have any suggestions fora colour match for the green in the xkr badge? Many thanks for any assistance.

l can't help with the red or the green in particular but one possible suggestion.
Could not find any in oyster for my R features XKR so had to strip the colour on readily available variant and redo in oyster.
l used nail lacquer and an airbrush, mixed the lacquer from a couple of small bottles to match.

I'm envious of all you folks hang-wringing over aesthetic stuff whilst I wrestle with "Why did this critical and inaccessible hose turn to dust" :-)

One day you too will be in the “I hate the way my high profile wipers look” camp. or some other aesthetic complaint group.
