Bring a sample of the color you want and, typically, S-W can match it pretty closely. Paint chip, football program, book, tee-shirt, whatever...
FYI - Like a previous poster mentioned, primer seals the substrate and is formulated to bond with the intermediate and/or topcoat. Primer is not usually UV stabilized/resistant and will breakdown when exposed to the sun.
Re: Sheen
Flat paint is more forgiving if the substrate has surface imperfections. The glossier the sheen, the greater the scrubability of the painted surface, but imperfections are magnified.
Bottom Line: I've got gloss and semi-gloss on my crawfish table. It's done well for me. Good luck!

So here we go, crawfish table 99% complete.
I sprayed 2 coats of primer, then two coats of gold on everything. I had my wife put all of the purple on last night, but it got to muggy to dry. Woke up this morning and all of the purple on the table was still wet. I made the mistake of leaving the barrels out in the open and the dew diluted the purple and ran down the side of the barrels. Just need to to another coat of purple.
For the carpentry people, the border pieces are treated 2x4's ripped down to 3" with a 3/4"x3/4" dado cut in the middle, so that the plywood is actually sitting inside of the boards. Even the octagon pieces, which meant one of them had to be cut so that it could be placed vertically to finish the octagon.
Table for sale, $10000.
