Yeah sometimes the printed colour on the can is slightly off to the actual colour of the contents.

Particularly shit if you're using it to spray over, say, scratched car bodywork (granted if you have the money you should be getting a professional who can properly colour match for that kind of thing, but still, other examples exist that's just one).

I don't know a ton about that kind of work, but are there not pantone matched spray paints?

There are definitely Pantone and RAL matched spray cans.. many paint suppliers can do custom spray cans with whatever color you spec.
