MG MGF Technical - What colour is my car

I have recently brought a black 2004 160 TF and want to get some touch up paint and possibly paint centre dash but not sure what colour my car is.

I seem to remember that when O looked in Halfords a few weeks ago there were a few possibilities.

When I say the car is black under certain lighting it is in fact a dark blueish charcoal.

What is the 3 letter code for the colour on the data plate ??

The paint code is included on the commissioning plate in front of the spare wheel, and comprises a three letter code.

eg HAM - British Racing Green Metallic 2 coats, LEF - Xpower grey etc. The codes are available on various MGF fora, but if you post it here we can identify it for you.

It is probably Anthracite - LQW.

The plate says 'PBT'. I have looked through the chart in Halfords but can't seem to work out which colour it is.

If anyone has any ideas it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

PBT = Black Pearl

You can get both a touch-up pencil and spray from Rimmer Brothers;
