paint color matching
This is almost an impossible question to answer.....which color. The best answer is of course...the color you "want to look at every day".
When you are selecting color samples, always apply them to a slick smooth surface that is white on any color in the warm sclae and to gray on any color in the cool or dark scale.
For "real" color comparisons, we take cheap slick poster board and clear coat it with Krylon Clear. Then we apply our paint chip color. After its dry we often re-spray it with clear to simulate a wax application.
For single stage paint, your dried sample will be very close to the finished product. For base coat/clear coat colors the sample must have the clear coat on it to render the actual color as it will appear.
Last and most important...only match colors in natural daylight. No artificial lighting of any kind.
Personally, I like the #156 in your photo. It is a bright color, easily visible and does not scream "orange". I'd like to see a sample on white for a true color.
