Can a wall color code work for different painting brands?

Today we got a custom paint code (F14-1) for Dutch Boy.


It was pretty expensive, so we're gonna go to Home Depot tomorrow because we got a gift card. Will that code work for a different brand? For example, like Behr or Glidden?





And will the color still look the same?Can a wall color code work for different painting brands?
Take either your dry stir stick or dab a good sized drop of paint (about an inch square) and fairly thick drop onto heavy card stock and let dry...then you can have the store colour match the paint..when you get home, be sure to mix some of the old paint together with the new paint so it will blend well when applied to your walls. The dry paint stick is really the best for then to match the colour..the colour codes are different in each store and each brand of paint, so the code won't work, but sometimes they can look up certain colours and cross check them to use with some brands, just don't count on this.
