Stupid paint code question

No offense, but it would probably be a good idea to have someone that isn't colorblind match the paint. Matching existing older paint on the car is ALWAYS an "eyeball" job — paint codes only get you close. If you are going to respray the whole car, fine, refer to the paint code and whatever comes out, it will be consistent at least. It was not a stupid question, but the bottom line is that you need to match what is there, visually. Take a removable part (gas cap?) to the paint store and they will computer mix a matching color.
