You take it home and spray a test panel. Prime the test panel with the same primer you plan to use on the vehicle. Color sand it out the same.
Compare test panel to the chip in the book out in indirect daylight. Bring it back to them to tweak if you do not like the match.

If you look up how the system works you will find that the scanner finds the closest color to what they have in their database not how to custom mix a color to match the sample.
