Just got a Glock 19 in OD, options for coloring the slide to match?

Unfortunately I don't have the gun yet. Won't have it until Monday. But I did go by the store and take a look at it (no transfers in the city, have to wait for their weekly trip to a range in the suburbs to pick it up). It looks very nice. I'm thinking eventually I might want to make the slide match the frame, and I want to know my options.

The store I bought it from advertises Duracoat for $65 for just the slide so that might be one way of doing it. But I want to make sure I get the color just right. Having an OD lower and a slightly tanner or greener hue on the slide wouldn't be the best. Are there places that will, say, allow you to pick a specific Pantone color to ensure a perfect match? Or is there anything I can do at home to accomplish this? Thanks for the help!
