Default paint code

To be honest i should of got this done by a pro but i was too impaitent. I currently re painting a wing mirror in flint grey. as it is only small i decided to get the paint mixed at my local halfords and spray can it.I had the first can mixed and the colour did not match. I decided to go back and got another person to mix the paint. The second can matched exactly the colour of the first. My cossie is flint grey or so im told, the colour in the log book says grey. I have got a second hand bumper in flint grey and it matched perfectly so im sure its the right colour. The paint code is T9.

Was there another version of grey that ford did for cossies that looks like flint?

Or are halfords just crap at mixing paint.

The vin plate shows T9 as the paint code. Must be the muppets at halfords screwing it up then.
