Yes, I had this same problem when I requested it (and its Zircon, not Zircom). But the resourceful chap I spoke with managed to look up the formula, even though it was not a current color. Here's the formula that got printed on the sticker I have:
Colorant 32 64 128 R2 Maroon 1 - 1 Y3 Deep Gold 3 1 1 B1 Black 15 - -
SInce I don't mix paint for a living I have no idea what these numbers mean, but the color is quite pleasing! Otherwise I'd just take a ColorChecker chart to a paint store (one that real professional painters use) and have them match one of the neutral patches on the bottom. The Zircon is pretty damn close to Munsell N8. If I had to do it again I probably would have chosen something closer to N6.5 or N5.
Hope this helps!

Sherwin-Williams 2129 Zircom is apparently no longer available and seemed to be one of the more popular formulations for gray wall paint. Does anyone have a suggestion for something else?
