most of these paints are designed to be a fairly close match (not exact), that's so they only need 100 colours rather than 1000's.

e.g tetrosyl VW red10 also matches the code for another 64 red colours (by a variety of car manufacturers)

I know. I once used Ford Rosso red to paint a Nova door, it was brilliant match.
