Hi Gator,
I do not have any MM IJN gray but the darkness may not be a problem.
If you have not been to J-Aircraft.com, I highly recommend it. J-Aircraft MSG Boards Some of the contributors include a man who does research & restoration for the Smithsonian; additionally, Mr. Thorpe, author of the two tomes IJAAF Colors & Markings and IJNAF Color & Markings has begun contributing. Here is their research board: Research
Having presented those, let me tell you that new research, including posting of actual artifacts of preserved Japanese acft parts, have changed the idea of IJN gray. Evidence now shows that it is not so much a gray, but a gray-green much like Luftwaffe RLM 02, or even light olive.
I'll leave it at that and let you start viewing the links above.
