I tried searching this, but the comments were more like, use Hardware Store Rattle Can Paint, without saying which brand and color turned out to be a good match. Anyone touched up their Rims at some point.

In my experience doing just that, Cap Colors are misleading. I know my old go-to Silver from Wurth is probably not going to match, so I'll probably try the different cans anyway next week. We shall see....
