Get a hold of the local PPG rep. He/she should have the camera where they can take a photo of the color and it will get into the database and provide a formula that is close...and then THAT formula can be tinted to your car if needed.

Trying to find an exact formula can be pointless den to it can get you close...but it also may more than likely need to be tinted to match for a blend.
