Default Front end paint

I am finally taking the car to the body shop this weekend. Is there a paint guide for the front end? I'd like to know what is supposed to be eggshell black and what is supposed to be regular black. All the paint on my car is dull, so it is hard to tell, but it looks like the the grill and headlight bucket area is all the same color on my car, is that right?

Also, From most of the pics it looks like the C-pillar fill panels(fake vents) are white. I was able to catch the end of the paint with my nail and chip off the layers. It looks like mine are from the car and besides the primer, it looks like they were both black, then white, then yellow, so I am thinking that they should be white.
