You can't really print a metallic color accurately, unless you have one hell of a printer. You really need to see these colors in person to truly appreciate them.
Find a couple shops and ask if they have any swatches of metallic colors they can do for you. You'll get a much better idea of a color you'd like that way.

Ya mine actually does have ALOT of metal flake in it, the pics dont do it justice.. Or maybe its just the light i dont know, however if u get up close there millions of sparkels everywhere.. I'm a BIG fan of metallic and candy paint jobs, just like Kandied91Z's car, perfect example, those colors always stand out the best.. What color are u actually looking for??

i wouldn't be able to get you a photo close to it but a candy red would be your best bet to match the phone.
a metallic color is just that....the depth of that color your looking at really needs a translucent over the metallic color. many shades and bases can be used for such. you will never get a picture of my car that shows it's color but if that's what your looking for candy is the answer. here are a few that give you an idea.
