Well, I have had good luck with factory paint chips. 
The Sun Orange on my Gremlin really does match the
chip and the Brisbane Blue (metallic) matches the 1966
paint chip very well.  I know there can be problems
however, and it is just good practice to actually buy
a small quantity of paint and spray it if you are
serious about a particular color.
