Now to be a little helpful: I think the way the pros do it, is with blending... They match the color as best as possible, then blend it over the existing paint to make it hard/impossible for the human eye to see the difference. I don't think you're going to be able to just get some color matched touch-up paint, unless you've got a paint code for the color on the car. And even then, the pros would blend the color just in case there's a discrepancy in paint batches, and then clear-coat everything.
