I don't know if I was just lucky but I called ppg and gave them my paint
code (from the back of tbon) and they sent me a quart. Matched just fine.
When I talked to the gentleman on the phone he said that they had small
bottles as well.
I just went to google and typed in ppg paint and called the one at the top
of the list.

Jim, You might try a local automotive paint store which is what did. They
would more than likely have a paint scanner and could match your color. You
may have to buy a quart of paint but at least you would have some for later.
I tried two local body shops, they had scanners but said they couldn't do it
unless they painted the car............ I guess any excuse is better than
none.
