Trying to find a paint, help?

So, as many of you know, the new Jurassic Park movie comes out this year, 22 years after the original(and looks better than the previous 2..so far..). So in commemoration of one my favorite movies and characters ever (original JP and the guy that hunts the raptors), I want to paint and kit up a Rubicon in a modern take on the iconic JP jeeps(since the Rubicons dimensions are so much different from the 90s Wrangler).

My issue is a SUITABLE body color..I know I wont find exact, but maybe some of you can help me figure out something close without me having to trial and error mixing some not exactly cheap airbrush paint...It's this odd greyish sand color...the red is easy(and i dont care that mine will be glossy, not going for a true remake).

Tamiya PS-23 Gunmetal would probably be a pretty good match. It's slightly metallic IIRC, but definitely not bass boat metallic.

Tamiya PS-31 would be a close match. It is a non metallic flat gray.

Another option is to go for the new Jurassic Park Jeep colors.

Advantage of working in a hobby shop is that I can do both eventually. The original is just so iconic that I have to remake it. You actually gave me an idea, the updated one will be flashier and more metallic since that's what I've seen in most of the pics of the trucks so far. I'm also trying to get my hands on a Unimog and/or a RC4WD Beast for Lost World love.(Yes, i'm JP fanboy)
