I have to match colors by mixing each one individually in my business, after 20 years I still end up with "MUD" very often when trying to hit a color so don't feel frustrated by that, you just have to do trial and error and one of those charts can help if you aren't familiar with mixing colors, probably save you some time...paints vary so much in pigments, sometimes, especially with cobalt blue tones I have the color matched perfectly indoors and take it outside and it's an entirely different shade either too green or too purple, Mike is right, very often the desired colors can be acheived by layering rather than mixing...
