Current paint match

What current Honda color is closest to Anthracite metallic for a 2005 TL-Gun Metal Metallic or Modern Steel Metallic. Honda dealer is closer so I'm going there first.

You didn't mention why you need paint in the first place. If it's a small enough paint correction, you can buy OEM touch up paint matched to your color offline for cheap. If it's a large enough paint correction (like replacing bodywork), I wouldn't buy through a dealership in the first place (go to a specialty shop)....It just depends on what you want to have done.
