Default Are Touch=Up Paints ALL the SAME? Dupi-C0L0R?

So I know I have a Graphite 05 and needed some touch up paint for a few rock chips and ordered dupi=color PDR Graphite (Chrysler) Acc 0414 and it just does not look as dark as I think it should. Have not cleared over the spots but wanted to verify this is correct. Search did not turn up anything. If this is not the best then what are you using?? GG in TN

The dealerships used to carry touch up paint that matches pretty well but they are mostly discontinued. This site most people have had great luck including me, https://www.automotivetouchup.com/

This is the site where I purchase all my touch-up paint (paint pens, spray cans, etc.) Always get a good match to factory color. Attached is a simple reference chart for all model years & colors. The 3 digit code tells a paint shop which tints to use when mixing. (Note: Automotive Touchup is one of the few vendors that knew Graphite Gray & Machine Gray were different colors. That makes them AOK in my book. Some touch-up vendors think it was only a name change, which was what Chrysler did with Blaze Red (2004-2005) & Inferno Red.(2006-2008)

I've also purchased chip repair kits from ChipEx. Use this for light "road rash" that sometimes shows up after a long road trip. Their product(s) are much better than DrColorChip - MHO. (Note: DrColorChip was one of those vendors that told me Graphite Gray & Machine Gray were the same color; only a name change. I asked him to put that in writing if I bought product from him & told him he would pay to have my entire car re-painted when the color didn't match. He told me to take my business elsewhere.)

I bought a spray can from them to touch up two spots on my 04 Graphit Metallic paint. I was very pleased with the results. Never had a spot paint match better.
