Phantom Silver is referring to the WHEELS IF I read that chart correctly for the 08 Atomic Silver model.You say the Atomic paint doesn't match your bike.Okay...it wasn't mixed correctly.That's all to that.The phantom silver IS slightly darker...yes.But for the WHEELS only....UNLESS...someone else painted your bike before you got her?Atomic Silver is Atomic Silver...it isn't gonna appear different whether it's on a Concours or a zx.
Mfg code #17M....colorite top coat...3915.You need to get these colors.Okay...and take the(a) part to the painter...have them add or remove the top coat(when mixing) or whatever to match the factory part you have.It will not appear exact just by "painting" with these colors.They have to add the right amount of topcoat and base to get it right.May take some doing.But THEY'RE painters...they should know how to do this!This color combo WILL match the Atomic Silver IF correctly mixed.
They need to "practice" on a similar piece to get it correct.If they know what they're doing...they'll get it matched perfectly.
You do NOT want METALLIC PHANTOM SILVER!!!!!!Not if you're trying to match Atomic Silver.They are NOT the same.Pretty much forget the website picture...every monitor is different,and their cameras are different as well.You have to see it in person to match it up.No other safe way.
Get yer painter to match the mixing for the color.You can BOTH check out his "practice" piece and confirm that's what ya want.(as suggested in the colorite instructions for mixing and painting with these factory blends).If you want exact matches...you have to get someone who is willing to do some practicing first to get it correct.An expert can do this.Doesn't have to be a "bike only" painter either.Some of those old guys really know their shit when it comes to mixing and matching.
If Kawasaki matched it up and sprayed your bike at the factory...no reason YOU(your paint guy) can't mix it and get it right either.
Excerpt from Bikeland about Silver Colors on the 14>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Yes, there website is good for color information ONLY! Trust my proffesional oppinion when I say there product is shit! It is made by American Paint whitch is a generic paint manufacture. There prices are so inflated it ought to be illeagal for the quality you get. Most reputable paint manufactures do have motorcycle colors. PPG and NEXA Autocolor have the largest selection and are great products. Beleive it or not PPG's premium line is cheaper then Colorite's poop. Trust me again when you have a problem with Colorite's stuff (color match, chemical interaction, ect) you will get no help worth mentioning. I know because I have delt with them before on a few jobs that clients have supplied the paint on and redone a few as well that people have tried to do therself with there stuff. Now I refuse to use there product at all".
Might give these two paint companies an e-mail?
I don't recall EVER seeing a US shipped zx14 Model listed as "Phantom Silver"....Matching these colors has to be done in several Lighting conditions.It may look very different sitting in a paint booth as compared to being out in the sunlight.Course...you KNEW that.
I'd be careful about someone telling you "This is the color of your bike" if they really haven't done the actual research about the color schemes for your particular bike.08's...Atomic Silver.That's what I found anyway.I found NOTHING in regards to "Phantom Silver" for US shipped 14's for 08.EXCEPT...for the WHEEL COLOR. 
Two Colors for the US market for 08 zx14 Ninja.....Atomic Silver,Metallic Midnight Sapphire Blue.
If you've got an 08,US model...Atomic Silver's yer rocketship's color!
Sorry...I talk too much!
