Again, interior designers and people who are more perceptive than I am and may pick up an undertone that’s not quite right may say differently, but I haven’t noticed any major differences between the colors I’ve had color matched and the ones I haven’t. That’s not to say the color might be slightly different, I’ve just never noticed a huge difference. I have matched BM paint dozens of times, and it always turns out fine for me. Benjamin Moore even has a commercial running that encourages people to buy the paint directly from Benjamin Moore because the colors can’t be guaranteed when matched elsewhere.
