I’m not aware of any reliable source that insists that Eigengrau is *exactly* #16161D.

But it wouldn’t be a hard experiment to do. Just put an optical device on somebody’s head that exposes them to a particular colour, like the headgear you wear at an optometrist’s to measure your eyesight, and see what they say when the light goes on and off. Adjust the colour until they say “yeah, it’s about the same”.
