Thankfully the damage is minimal but I know it's there.

Go to a good body shop/painter you trust, and they normally have "shade cards" or something similar to compare your existing paint. It has several shades of the factory color for adjusting the base formula. This way it matches the shade or fade much closer than the typical book formula you'd get from a paint supply store.
Had a silver truck once and needed some spot paint and it came out a perfect match when they used the card. Found out it was 2 shades off from the book formula. Silver's a beeotch, so yellow shouldn't be hard.
EDIT: And some body shops have a scanner they can scan your existing paint to supposedly match it even better. But I'm not sure how well those actually work. I didn't opt for that method so I don't have first-hand knowledge.
