Default Paint code for gunmetal?

Hey all

Ordered a new set of wheels and want to have them painted in flat gunmetal. Went to look at the color samples today and found it extremely difficult to decide for a color using those tiny samples. I don't have any other references I could tell the guy. Does anyone have a paint code or similar reference?

Also, if going for a flat look, this pretty much rules out metallic colors, right? Or how would a metallic paint with a flat clearcoat look?

For reference, this is for a very, very dark anthracite metallic SC (very close to black), and the look I'm going for is something like this (not the wheel I'm getting):
