Well on the bright side the darker the color the better it will match.
Black is almost always dead on.  Where it is a black metallic color though
just make sure that the paint shop you use will blend the color.  This will
guaranty a proper match.  I paint cars for a living the only excuse for a
mismatch on a car less than 4 years old is painter error and laziness on his
part.  Thought this may cheer you up a little.  Good luck.
