don't worry about blending onto 1/4s, the factory even had a slight shade difference due to metal and plastic difference.
And yes, there are some 12 or so "pewter" variations for 2001. When i painted my engine compartment and hatch the guy at the paint store and I went trough all of them with my gas door in hand. the final one we picked was so close you couldn't have told the difference between it and the oem color. (I don't have record of the exact one sorry, that was in 2007)
When I removed my export rear bumper and needed a oem one, i bought a pewter one with little scuffs on it off ebay. I buffed it and waxed it and threw it on, cost me like 120 bucks shipped.
This is what I would do too.
