Variations meaning it might be bluer, reder, darker, lighter etc etc
In saying that though toyotas are usually pretty good.
I see. I was basing my comment on my previous experience on how easy it was to find paint that matched 1:1 for my previous car. I just gave them the color code from my car and they gave me green metallic paint spray that was identical. I used it a lot on scratches and after the paint dried, you couldn't even tell where the scratch was. I wish it was always that easy; as you predicted, they didn't have the color of my current car.
