Question about Paint Code

I bought a 2005 Expedition. The paint codes reads g4. When I looked the code up for color match paint it shows results for cashmere paint but the color just doesn't look like the color on the truck. Is cashmere whitish in color? I have a good size spot on the bumper and need to paint the new grill I put in to match but don't want it to look off. I have sunk a lot of money into the engine so it doesn't have to be absolutely perfect, but would like as close as possible.

Best thing to do is to go to a paint shop, and get the color matched.

They have tools that can match the current color (likely adjusted due to UV or age).

My buddy who used to paint and refurb cars/trucks for a living had a MicroFiche with adjusted paint color codes when mixing the paint to color match.
