The whole of my rear apron is all the same colour . Not sure if picture is that clear .
You can buy the cover unpainted and get it painted yourself if your colour isn't listed .

If you open the bonnet , on o/s/f suspension turret is a manufacturers plate with chassis number etc
on it , and this has your paint colour and code written on it too .
