Knowing the name of your original carpet color won't help you, because the aftermarket carpet companies have their own names for their particular shades, so even if their line has a color with the same name as your interior, it's not likely that it will be the same color.

Your best bet is to get samples of the carpet so that you can decide what color best suits your needs.

Ok then, would it look good to have black carpet with grey seats and panels?

You might be able to pull that off. The dash and console are black, so the carpet might flow with that. And even with a color chart, all the shades of grey are kinda iffy. My carpet is a different color from the rest of my interior.

I think that would look ok, but getting the right gray carpet would look much better.
