You know I took my car to a paint shop to get some paint and they told me our VW Candy white has 3 variations of the same code. He pulled out the 3 paint chips and we matched my car to the closest matched chip.
I think the only way to match the color 100% would be to blend the color but you may not want to touch the OEM paint on your fenders.
Good luck on your paint job tho!
