Good quality paint shops should be able to specrtum analyze your paint and come up with an exact computer match. This is helpful when repainting a panel to match surrounding panels which may have faded somewhat over time.
AS my paint guy said to me, "I don't care what color the factory says your car is, I care what color YOUR car is" He showed me paint swatches for 6 variations of my color alone.
He also said "I could take a Polo green SVX, produced at 8AM on one day and park it next to another SVX of the same color produced at 3PM the same day. For all intents and purposes, they look identical in every way...
Now swap doors or fenders between the two and see what happens."
We have seen many different variations of pearlies at Reading; some were whiter, some had a slightly golden cast, etc.
Just use a top quality paint, such as Sikkens or Glasurit. The imported paints are of much higher quality.
