The color paint you like seems to be a silver-blue.
It's a challenge to get just the right color blue in a previous home. I found greater success in looking at the silver-blue tints and was very successful several times.

One thing I didn't know, as your paint sits in the garage it changes it's hue and doesn't necessarily match when trying to repaint a section of wall. Best approach, is to take a piece of painted wall board to Sherwin Williams and they will match it perfectly.

Love the wall color you provided! Good luck!
