Also, sometimes the colour is perfect but the sheen from the touch up can throw it off when viewed from different angles. If you brush it on you won't match the orange peel of the original texture and where the brush is a little drier will have a shinier finish than where the paint was wet in the middle. If you roll it you'll get a duller set of dry nap marks on the outside vs. the inside where it was wet.
If you were doing any patching you'll have an area where you've sanded down the orange peel from the original coat which can be impossible to blend into the texture of the rest of the wall. Unless of course you're in a new build with sprayed walls that have never been roller painted. But then your touch up with a roller or brush will have a texture that doesn't match the rest of the sprayed wall.
Long story short, either don't worry about the minor imperfections or paint the entire wall.

No painter sprays walls in Calgary in new builds (or old).
Number one problem for not matching is previous walls are dusty, not in good shape, or paint hasn't been stirred well enough.
You also must use exact same paint as walls were previously done in. A company like benjamin moore has different brands of paint so even though you know the color, you must also know the brand that was used originally(Ben, Regal, Aura, Ultra spec) etc..
Sheen levels and paint color will be slightly off in each brand even if it's same color.
