Repainting centre caps

I've pulled my centre caps off my OEM wheels to repaint them.

The car is being sold, so it doesn't have to be flash or an exact match.

Has anyone been down this path before and can tell me the name of the right colour to get a good match ?

Preferably in Duplicolor.

Thanks
Shane

They have a version of silver called Hot Pink that is a good match.
