Lacquer behaves differently once it is applied to the bodywork. It also depends on the primer that is used. According to colour code a paint should be 100% the same. Unless the original paint is discoloured, but that is not very likely. Depending on the size of the surface to be treated, you have to use different techniques. The colour is a combination of the used primer colour, lacquer and clearcoat finish, in combination with the light. What do you need to repair and how big is it? You can take a piece of material and make a paint sample of it and put it next to the car for comparison and to see if there is a difference in colour. If so, the company either needs to measure the paintwork or they didn't do it right the first time. But usually they do it right based on the colour code.
