Default Touchup paint for Mystic Teal Metallic?

I have a 1995 V6 Camaro. The name of the color of my car is Mystic Teal Metallic. I got a spot on my hood where some paint peeled off and it sticks out like a sore thumb. I've been to Autozone, Advance Auto Parts, and Pep Boys, and none of them have touch up paint for my car! Is my only option to go to a dealer or a body shop? WTF?

Default Not good news

My old '96 Formula was the 'chameleon blue-green' and I bought a bottle at the dealership. It just didn't match well and it was obvious. Very disappointing. Those unusual mixed colors are a pain to touch up!

If it's going to be obvious, then I don't want to even bother going to the dealership. Anyone know how much it would be to have a body shop do it? Also, does anyone know how I can LEARN how to blend paint, just incase I want to do it myself? I want it to look like nothing happened.

I would just pick a color close to it, it's better than primer..

Probably looking around $300-500 to repaint the hood and bled in the fenders to match.
