Default rock chips and touch up paint from the dealer

I bought the touch up paint from the dealer to fix the rock chips on my hood but the colour dosent match well its close but not the same. so it looks funny with the chips coloured in but it looks bad with the chips showing as well what do you all think I should do just use the touch up paint and fill in the chips or leave them? any othe suggestions? btw its a BCP tC

touch up paint is more for protecting from rust for deep scratches than to make it look better. that's the reason i didn't even use the touch up paint and just leave it, personally i think using touch up paint looks worse than just leaving the chips there. since touch up paint is one step, it's impossible to really get the same color since regular paints have a clear coat on top of the color. if you want the best look, go to paintscratch.com and read
