The ones I've seen that Subaru sell don't actually come from Subaru
at all they just buy them from another supplier and get colours which
are the closest to the actual colour on the cars.

I bought 2 touch up colours from Subaru previously, the 1st was Blue
Steel Mica for my CSE3 and the 2nd which was Obsidian Black Pearl
for my 06 and 07 WRX's and none of them were anywhere near the
correct colour and stuck out like dogs balls!

Best to go to a paint and panel shop and get the to mix up a small
pot of your cars exact colour, then steal one of your missus old nail
polish bottles with the little ball inside and clean it out with turps and
fill it with your paint and throw it in your glove box.
