Default The hunt for an OEM Gray Metallic (w/example pics)

I want to repaint my '99 Pewter Metallic Firebird within the next two or three years and have been deciding on a color for a couple years now. I'm keeping with the gray theme, but want to go a little darker than stock or a slightly different temperature to contrast it more when parked next to silver or white cars. Do you guys have any suggestions that would be close to the colors listed below?

At first I tossed around the idea of Honda Galaxy Gray, but it was a little bit too dark and too gold:




So then I looked for other grays that I liked. I came up with BMW Sterling Gray, but still wasn't completely convinced:




So then I found BMW Space Gray, which is very close to Pewter, but a different color temperature range:




Here are old unedited shots of my car for comparison in different lighting conditions:
