I agree with lars.
That is such a common color.. I am sure every paint manufacturer will have that color formula...but that really mean as nothing due to the color they mix will more than likely need to be tinted to get it to match...if you are concerned about the color being a prefect match.

The thing you might need to understand that looking at the color on a computer screen is not the same as what you may actually get.
Try the DupliColor and see how well it works of you for these touch up areas.
There are a million shades of white due to most whites use white, red oxide, yellow oxide, blue and black in them to make up the white in a varying ratios.....ergo...the million shades of white you can see on the road today.
Just because the paint can may read 'CODE 10' does not mean anything due to the variants that code 10 has.
