Argent Silver is the correct color also if you tried a search here on the forums this was talked about a few years ago.

Original silver grilles were made of a whitish grey plastic, and thene painted argent. black grilles were made of black plastic.

Some guys have painted the back side a grayish color prior to painting the egg crate area argent, and of course the eyebrow area body color. Don't know the details of the grey color. I was fortunate enough to score an NOS silver grill a few years ago, so I did not persue the grey paint details.
