I highly suggest getting a computer scaned match if available from your paint supplier. In my opinion / experience that is the only way to get a reliable match.

Look on the sticker in your glove box. Should be the last set of numbers I believe.

I took a top to get it painted and the shop owner pulled up my code and had 7, yes, that's right, 7 different shades of my color. He pulled a paint chip card out of a file, just like a shade card at Home Depot for house paint, with different shades on it. Find someone who knows what is going on.
