Default Paint/Paint Code Question

Does anyone know if there is a difference between 'Light Silver' (406) and 'Royal Silver' (792)?

I've found a couple of parts of a facelift model I'm interested in but know the silver paint is classed as different colours, just not sure if its anything that would be noticeable...

Thanks

Be very careful since paint codes look different in different lights.
What looks the same on a part OFF the car often looks VERY different ON the car and under different lights, like orange street lights and HID garage forecourt lights, colour mis-matches REALLY show up

Stick RELIGIOUSLY to whatever paintcode you have

406-792 is a big difference!

406-262 is the closest

but as above comments they will stick out under different lights
