Да, в следующий раз когда мне начнут заливать про то что они не могут подобрать цвет, я пожалуй поинтересуюсь про профпригодность и технологию [развода лохов]. 
Вообще, прежде чем интересоваться у кого-то про профпригодность, я б сперва сам разобрался в вопросе.
Кстати, вот тут подробнее пишут:
...One of the root causes is the fluctuation of the OEM color accuracy during the manufacturing process. Situations like a change in environment, line speed, different production facilities, and application methods are all factors. Differences in application tools as well as the possibility of a different paint supplier in each plant can also contribute to this problem.
To add some supporting data to this, I contacted Paul Marshal, manager of the BASF Color Laboratory in Whitehouse, OH, and requested formulation data covering the last ten years of OEM production. Here are the results:
In the last ten years there were 14,980 new original colors introduced to the US market. These new color codes resulted in an additional number of 29,148 variants, bringing the formulation total to 54,128. At a glance, this doesn’t seem to be too bad, averaging at a rate of 1.9 variants per code. But after digging into the data deeper, you discover a different picture. A good portion of the colors were limited in their application. These limited applications include cladding, bumper, and underhood colors and hardly any of those required a variant. I asked Paul to supply me with example color codes that show a severe drift during production, resulting in a higher then normal number of variants. It turns out that there are a lot to choose from and Nissan’s code KYO emerged as one of them, requiring BASF, for example, to produce the stunning number of 18 variants year to day.

...In my 27 years in the paint industry, I can clearly say that blending is a must on just about every repair if an undetectable repair is to be the outcome. The idea that you could paint a bumper off the car, without blending the fenders or quarters at the same time and truly expecting to achieve an undetectable repair is wishful thinking.
...As I stated at the beginning, not all vehicles will need it, but most would benefit from it. Pre-accident condition is the promise that was made to the consumer. Even if you can get away with painting a fender and blending the door and hood with a marginal matching color, are we really living up to this promise? We must ask how many times have we delivered such a vehicle and the customer left happy, just to return a couple weeks later, after friends or neighbors looked at the car and realized that something was slightly off. A combination of all available options is the right approach and would have in all likelihood prevented this comeback. The last time I checked, comebacks are bad for insurers and body shops alike.
Consumers today have high expectations of quality final product returned to them after an accident. They will judge the quality of the complete repair based on the first impression they get when walking up to their vehicle. Color accuracy is the first thing they see.
