You can use a colorimeter and mix most colours without too much trouble. Matching the "texture" is more of a problem.
Matching Car Paint

People who could match reliably were much sought after in the old days. Time was when every batch of paint was quite different.
Actually not quite true. There is a technology which uses a printed card with various reference colours on it round a hole in the middle. You take a digital picture of what you want to match and send it off and I think you get back Dulux paint code to match the central colour.
Done well it matches exactly under the lighting conditions used.
