They should have samples of each shade on a plastic film that you can take and match to your cars existing colour. I had the same problem when getting my front bumber sprayed in wrb. There were two shades of blue that were fractionaly different. I took the samples outside and could easily tell the difference when matched to the car. Hope this helps mate.

It wont help. He already knows the paint code! As ultraviolate has said; they 9the paint suppliers) should give you a chip for each shade to allow you to pick. Subaru usually only has one or two shades; larger manufacturers have been known to have scores of variations on one paint code.....
