Close touch up paint to 1994 Teal Metallic?

Just patched in a few pieces of metal to my 94 Legacy L Wagon's rear hatch. It is all primed up and now I just need some paint.

Nobody local has a matching Subaru touch up paint on the shelf. Is there anything more common like a chrysler or GM paint that is very close to the Subaru Teal Metallic #281? I am not looking for perfection, just something closer than primer. I would drive to autozone myself and look, but the closest one is an hour away.

Thanks.

I can't help with the different colors, but you may want to try and take it into a paint shop and see if they could recommend something.

If you don't need it right away, you could order the touch up paint from one of the online subaru dealers

Thanks Josh, but I needed it yesterday so I ended up going to the parts store and finding the closest thing I could find, which was Bright Aqua Metallic. Turned out to be a little brighter than the stock color, but it works well for my crappy job of body repair.
