Don't know if it's still the case,but used to work in body shop,when we had paint mixed up it used to be to a no.(i.e. RAL5010),but certain manufactures/makes would then have different variants of same colour,which unless you took a fuel flap etc of vehicle to match,sods law meant that if you didn't bother with variant match you'd end up with diamonds white vans,not diamond whites ones.
