Default Should I change the color on my SOM to this?

My car is getting repainted once again.went in for some touch ups on the bumpers and decided to get the whole car done.It's tuff color matching SOM specially since Gm has 5 varients to SOM.fo some reason my factory one is still off.looks a bit lighter. I had the car repainted 2 years ago and it looked close,but still was a lil darker and had a bit of a red tint to it.this time I want to lighten up the color,but since we're having a lil bit of problems matching it I was considering switching it to this
what do u guys think? it's SOM with a atomic pearl twist. Inbetween SOM and AOM.

You guys noticed how many variants there is to SOM? My painter had 4-5 to Gm SOM. when we had yours,mine,Gils,and James's SOM's together we all had a different shade of SOM. I want my original SOM back which was a lil lighter than my last paint. My last one was pretty close to what James has.

from what I remember
-Chelo and I(my original factory paint,a lil lighter orange yellow hint like) had similar paint
-59camaro and I(2nd paint) were almost identacle at invasion
- Geovette's had a more orange tint
-Gil's t/a was the darkest tint(cinamon redish hint)

right?

Yeah, I'll be there. I don't know how much this paint will actually cost. you guys will have to call adrian at elite auto Collision in el Cajon.
