How to Match Exterior Paint Color? (house, stores, move)

[purelygeneric]

Anyone have any ideas on how I can match the exterior paint color of my home? It's gray with a hint of blue and it's stucco. I'd like to do some work outside, but want to be certain I can match the paint color. If not, it might look foolish!

If it's possible, remove a sample from an inconspicuous part of the house and bring it to a paint store that offers color matching. The better stores will have computerized matching. Home Depot and Lowes offer it, but it will vary on which employee you get the day you go there, as most don't want to be bothered with doing any actual work, and will actually spend more time and effort to not do it than if they had just done it in the first place. You may get lucky and get an employee that cares on the first shot. It's basically a crapshoot. I'm rambling. Point is, if you can bring a sample to a paintstore they should be able to match it, or at least come pretty close.
The Ace Supserstore by me did a nice job matching a paint sample I had brought them.
