colour not matching

Sent big items belly pan , screen etc off to painter for repair but just wanted to touch up a couple of stone chips down on front mudguard

Colour is Melon Yellow RAL 1028 could not get 400ml can from usual supplier so got from another autopaint shop , but after 3 coats its clearly not RAL 1028 its less orangy , seems greener ?? whatever ..

Supplier has been shown the difference , but says its the same formula RAL 1028
I want them to either give me same colour or refund the can .. dont think he will do anything ...but he wont hget my custom again

I will probably have to drop the piece of to my painter ,, but I often do touch ups and still need the same colour

frustrating and never personaly had this problem before
