Default Paint Code / Color Question

I'm wondering if any forum members know if there is much of a difference between color code a36 "Titanium Gray Metallic" and a68 "Platinum Gray Metallic"

"Titanium Gray Metallic" was a color from 2006, and "Platinum Gray Metallic" was a color from 2008.

Thanks in advance for any and all information.

Any place that supplies paint to auto body shops would be able to tell you. Google "OEM auto paint" for your area.

i would assume there is a difference. otherwise why go though the trouble of implementing a new paint code?

To me, the platinum gray has a slight green-blue hue, and I prefer a warmer grey. The other grays appear much different to me.
