Good question.
Short answer, we don't know. It is not listed on any of the brochures. Or anywhere that we have yet discovered.
In the 1991 launch year of the SVX there were 6 colour options for the SVX in Japan. {I think maybe the US got 4 of these?}
They were:
Silver metallic tricolour
Dark Grey/Graphite
Ebony
Ruby Mica
Claret
Mica White.
So far as I know, the US did not get Graphite nor Ruby. Also your Silver was 2-colour only, Silver [249] with black roof and trunk.
Of the six above, the Ebony is the odd one out. Ebony cars are painted pearl black all over. The other 5 colours have solid black on the roof and trunk.
I suspect they never bothered giving the colour codes for the black roof and trunk, basically because any solid black will do. They are all outside surfaces. Once you re-paint them, there is no interior nor unpainted surfaces that need to be matched to the new paint.
If asked to guess, I would expect that the solid black used would have been whatever solid black Subaru were using in any other cars of their range in '90/'91.
If we find out an official code, we will put it in the chart.
[Likewise we are aware of 3 different silvers for the wheels. We have no codes for them either
