Here's the rub. The old guy at the DuPont store with the scanner matches better than the younger guy. Knowing this, I said to the younger guy "I really need this to match" and he states "Oh. I'll turn all the mixers on'. (just hang me)
It boils down to the people doing the match, hence, good supply store as per your recommendation.

You are correct Bob.. it varies per experience.

Again, I still ask what color are we talking about? This also plays a part in the degree of difficulty to match.
