If you are certain that "Graphite Brown Metallic" is what you want going by the information you've gathered, and you're confident that the paint supply store can mix it, then you have succeeded. Seeing a picture taken from a digital camera/cell phone, then having it displayed on your computer screen can and will change the hue considerably and may lead you to believe the color is wrong.

The only way you are going to be 100% certain that the color they mix for you is what you want is to have some made up and "spray it out". This is a must for any and all colors you pick. have a little mixed up and even spray it on a crash panel or other useless panel (exactly like you did indicated in your picture link for the reds) to eyeball it in different light conditions and angles. When I was selecting color for my truck, I carried a spray out with me for 2 months in the car and looked at it often to be sure it was the color I wanted.

There is no substitute for being sure that you have the color you want by having it sprayed out. Ask the paint supply store to make one for you....some offer this service.
