Is the paint code for Denim Blue always the same?

I want to get some touch up paint, so I called my local dealer. They asked "what car and what color" and were satisfied with "Denim Blue" as an answer. I have my service manual with the sticker containing several codes (I don't know which is the paint code). Is the touch-up paint for Denim Blue really one-shade-fits-all or are there slight variances in the mixes? I know I've asked this before, but I was told "tell the dealership your paint code and they'll give you the right thing". Well, they didn't ask for the paint code and I'm very suspicious that if I tell it to them, they'll still order whatever they would have if I hadn't. And Clair won't ship touchup paint.

I am very distrustful of my local dealership's knowledge, and before I go painting my car with "Denim Blue" paint, I want to be very sure it's the correct color.

Can you other blue owners please post your paint codes? If they're all the same, I guess I have nothing to worry about. <i>Thanks!!!</i>
