I believe Krylon has a color called Dull Aluminum. Though I thought the
question was originally what *powdercoat* color should be specified. I
imagine that there is a standard powdercoat color of this type, as well,
though whether it is called Dull Silver, Argent, Dull Aluminum, or what, I
don't know.
