It is just crazy, who cares what color your hybrid prius is. There are thousands of shades of white, why can't there be 1, white is white people (end rant)

I used to work in the our mix room at work although I have no idea why they called it that. We never mixed any paints and they all arrived as they were used. ????? Anyway at times we would have a color change and that meant I had to flush out the whole system to make sure there was no left over paint in the pipes that were going to the spray booths. The process was very time involving and messy. One time I went home covered from head to toe in blue. I looked like a slaughtered a smurf.
Anyway what used to have me scratching my head is the new color batch of paint would arrive and look exactly like the one it was replacing. Even after painting there would be almost no way for a human eye to tell them apart. I have no idea why they would make such minuscule changes.
