Medium Walnut would be the proper color for the majority of the cabinet, with Extra Dark Walnut on certain trim areas where it is darker as shown in photographs of the 680 cabinets.

However...

A large console cabinet would be very difficult to properly spray with rattle cans. For a large cabinet such as yours, it would be best to use a spray gun setup. Which means that you would have to mix your own toners. Might be more trouble than it's worth for one cabinet, and may be time to call in a professional. Just my thoughts.
