Grey
well take off your sunglasses then. 
brushed chrome .
brushed chrome .
Looks liked brushed chrome/brushed steel or possibly BG's brushed iridium range (which I think is a bit darker than the steel/chrome option).
brushed steel. chrome is never brushed, it;s shiny.
I know, but it's still a label that's attached to that kind of finish
It's a bit like the lamp vs bulb debate

Red.
What's funny?
did he use bog paper to highlight the dimmer switch .
and he's also found a way to defy gravity. there's no facelate screws holding it up.
OP
Thanks for the replies all. I tried brushed chrome and it didn't mach and then I bought a BG iridium one and that didn't match either. I have now got to go back to the customers with hopefully the correct match (whatever that might be).
All makes have slightly different shades of brushed chrome. I normally get the customer to source any fancy switches and sockets otherwise you always get.
I don't like that shade or is the anther option.
You spend an exceptional amount of time back and forth with samples for zero money.

Thanks a lot for the help!
