Default Color Match for a D90

I'm build a hard body D90 on top of a SCX10 II and I'm having trouble finding the right color to paint the body. I'd like to get close to one of these two. Any ideas on how to achieve it?

That is definitely helpful, but how would I go about getting the exact paint to spray my hard body?

I did that and bought the ones that were close but when I test sprayed them they aren't even close.

Custom mix of bottled paint through an airbrush may be your only resort, unfortunately. Tamiya makes even more colors in bottles. Especially military colors, just cover with gloss clear.
