Touchup paint not matching?

I like this dry over night and it seems like the color just doesn't match up, I tested it on the inside of the door.

Ordered from http://www.paintscratch.com/
Made sure it was the only yellow color that came with the 2011 2SS
"Yellow C 34/WA9414/GCO"

I doubt fade in the inside of a door could change that much in the 4 years this car has been around.
Should I try to get my money back or have them match it better? I thought this was factory.

That is a terrible match. I would contact them for sure to see what they say.

NOBODY has been able to match GCO on mail order worth a crap without "blending". NOBODY.

One of the issues I believe is that most of the time, GM colors have a color hue "range" so the body shop can color match due to variables in the factory paint mix. GCO, however, has no such range, at least as a few years ago. It's formula X, and that's it.

this is why I like having a black vehicle, easy to match the color. GM black is GM black, can be bought at pretty much any auto parts store.
