It's a lottery with paint - all you can say for sure is "the car is that colour, and I have some spare touch-up paint"
I have an Oxford Blue BS105 car, and when I got some gelcoat (to make a matching caravan) is was wildly different (almost black!). Ended up painting the caravan, which was then a bit darker than the car. Fast forward to getting paint (from same supplier) for painting the car now because gel coat has 'streaked' and the paint is darker than the caravan. It's not the caravan faded, because I have some of the original paint in a tin, and there is quite a difference.
I guess the answer is to buy double the required volume at the time!
