Shops and insurance compaines don't just pay to paint your whole car for no reason. They pay for adjacent panels to be blended for color match, which is all that is needed for a reputable painter to make an invisible basecoat blend. As for paint itself, it will be mixed in whatever paint system the shop uses (ppg, Dupont, silkens, etc). That way the color can be tinted for the best blend-able match possible.
