Having tried the VW Candy White and finding it to be too cream for my van (2005 built, 2009 converted) I went with Hycote VW LC9A and found this to be a good match for me.

Differing manufacturers of paint will result in differing shades of a colour.
My last MK1 GTi was fully repainted in Mars Red No.2. The touch-in sticks I had for that were vastly different to the colour of my car despite being the correct code etc.

If anyone isn't sure that their van is original, most paint suppliers now use spectrum analysers to check the colour. Got my T5 check under the fuel flap that was least likely to suffer from sun bleaching etc and the perfect match was actually a Nissan colour. The technician said most colours show no1 or 2 but this was 0. He said it was the first time he had seen that.
