My understanding of colour matching ... you take the item down to be scanned into the computer.
I found the people down at Bunnings to be very helpful. Perhaps you could get a colour sample and try to match it where it won't be noticed (behind the lounge) etc..
Alternatively, Lulu is very helpful in situations like this - she helped me out recently.
Perhaps head down to bunnings or local home hardware (ie a retailer who stocks a number of paint brands) give them the name and see if they can look on the computer to track the brand and colour of the paint - an experienced paint person will be able to look at the paint mix and tell you roughly what colour it should be.
first thing monday morning is always a good time to go, nowhere near as busy as the weekends!
If you can remove some, you can take it into a paint place to colour match it. Preferably an area that hasn't had a lot of sun, so it isn't faded. Before you do this, I would probably sugar-soap the wall down so that it is clean.
If that doesn't work, go into a large paint place, such as Bunnings and go through the walls of paint chips and pick similar colours, take them home and place them against your walls.
With a bright pink wall you will probably have to use an undercoat to cover it, so that it doesn't show through your colour.
Nothing like a cuddle from DD after a hard day's work!
