It's not possible that your vehicle has color code KY0, that color was only available for 2002-2004 Pathfinders. That color is chrome silver, my Pathfinder is color code KY0, here's a pic...

Are you sure it wasn't KX0? That is a bronzed gray color, that seems closer to your color description. You should probably double check your placard, I'm sure you just read it incorrectly.

I got my touch up paint from the dealer, it's pretty cheap for a small ball-point tube of it and it's guaranteed to match your cars color.

Edmunds lists all colors on 2001 Pathfinder:

Aspen White Pearlglow, Bayshore Blue Metallic Bronzed Gray Clearcoat IO Metallic, Burnt Cherry Clearcoat Pearl Crimson Blaze Red, Sahara Beige Metallic Sherwood Green Pearl, Sierra Silver Metallic Super Black

If there is nothing close to brown you described, could it be a custom paint? What is the fire wall color?

That's KX0 (bronzed gray). Weird thing is that color was only supposed to be on 1998-2001 Pathfinders, but it's on newer ones as well (like in the picture). What's more weird is the fact that before 2002, the bronze gray color looks a lot more silver than 2002-2004 bronzed gray. They are completely different colors.
