Default duplicolor perfect match paint doesnt match?

i tried to touch up a small spot on my fender with duplicolor perfect match paint. but the paint does not match. i color matched it arctic white WA9567. it looks way darker than my factory paint. anybody else had problems with dupicolor matching?

It's not going to be a perfect match. It should be fairly close, but sometimes that looks worse. If your talking about the '02 then your also dealing with some paint fade, etc.

I have bought from a place called Paint Scratch (I think thats the name) and it matches pretty good. Maybe they gave you the wrong "code". Duplicolor is usually real close.
