While that pic looks like a photoshop job, if you like that color it shouldn't be too hard to find something close. Go to your local auto paint store and look through their paint chip books (both domestic and import). Sit in the sun if possible while looking at the chips. It will bring out the color better. Also, look out for a similar color on cars you see on the street, and note the make, model, and approximate year, then look at the chips. For a starting point, I think I've seen some newer Volvos and BMWs that are a similar color.
