Is there any easy way to closely match an existing stucco color if I want to do very small touch-ups? For example, touch-ups measured in a few square inches.
Where do I buy stucco final coat colors from?
Does anyone sell kits that let you create your own colors for small touch-ups?
Most paint stores have color computers. Bring in a small sample of the existing paint and they will mix up a reasonably close copy. The computers do not work as well on rough surfaces though.
If the color was a standard stucco color and you know the manufacturer, you should be able to get a paint code from them. They also sell a product called fog coat, which is a cement based color spray that's designed to blend in repairs to an existing wall.
The larger problem is that the existing color tends to change over time, so using a manufactures stock color will never match perfectly.
You won't be happy with the results. Most people aren't skilled enough to be able to blend their own colors. For example - adding white to a color does not make it lighter.

Colored sanded grout from the tile department. Blend two or three to match via trial and error. The eye is very sensitive to slight but abrupt changes in shade, so this is difficult.
