I'm trying to sort my Bionicle arms

 
Part No: 53989  Name: Arm Mechanical, Exo-Force / Bionicle, Thin Support
* 
53989 Arm Mechanical, Exo-Force / Bionicle, Thin Support
Parts: Minifigure, Body Part

but I have a hard time identifying the dark grayish colors. I've found these
six variations (numbered from left to right). Here is what I know:

#1 is Dark Bluish Gray
#2-#5 look "pearlish"
#5 is Pearl Dark Gray
Either #2 or #3 (or both) must be Flat silver because they best correspond to
a Flat Silver bionicle eye also shown in the image (the angle of light may not
show their colors being the same, but they are rather close).
#3 is a bit more silvery than #2
#5 has a golden tint compared to #4.

There is a pearl light gray part in the bottom (a fish) to show that none of
the parts in question is that color.

Any help is appreciated.

I expect Ryan will comment sooner or later but for now his picture regarding
the colors may help.
