Default Precision Red Color Code

I ordered some touch up paint from dealer for my 2005 Precision Red Corvette C6. They ordered piant via VIN number. Just picked up paint and it color code 27 "Colbalt Red" Is this the same as Precision Red? thanks for your help.

The OEM color code seems to be correct (from www.corvettepaintcodes.com):

OEM Code:27, Color:Precision Red, Valspar Code:R3643, PPG Code:906269, DuPont Code:-, RM Code:-, SW Code:67759, MS Code:- Azko Code:GMA05:27, WA Code: 946L
