ANY good body shop can match any color...it all depends on the eye of the painter. I've got a friend who's a head painter that has matched some ridiculously difficult colors perfectly. And yes, there is such a thing as OEM paint. Car companies order very specific hues from a given paint company so all of their cars come out looking the same in a given color. Then they assign a paint code to it so it's easier to match if the need arises.
