If you want the hardtop to match the car then I would suggest getting them to match to the paint on the car. If it is original it would have probably faded by now so even if they make a batch that is a perfect match to the original when it was new it will look a different shade to the car now. If the car has been resprayed then all bets are off.

Ideally you want them to spray a test piece first then hold it against the car, they won't like to do it as it is a real "faff" for them but they should understand the problem.
