Help with touchup paint "32 S"

[table5511]

Dealer handed me a bottle of "32" when I told them specifically that my paint code is "32 S"
The touchup paint they gave me is almost black, and even after vigorous shaking, it is still almost black. My "32 S" paint is the purplish color, and the touchup paint is not even in the ballpark, not even in the same block.

Anyone have the 32 S paint code and happen to have a bottle of touchup paint, and if so, does it say "32" or "32 S" on top of the lid? My bottle has "32" on the lid, but there is no way in hellz that it is the correct application for my color.

Think i know what the problem is. I think they gave me "32 C" I remember the parts guy saying "well it says 32 so this should work" What a moron. On top of the service manager dropping my brand new smartcard on the ground not once but twice.

Mazda paint codes:
32 S -> Galaxy Gray
32 C -> Phantom Blue
32 V -> Copper Red

"well it says 32 so this should work" -> This shows how little he knows....

Had the wife visit the stealer yesterday, they advised "it says 32 on the top because that is the last 2 digits of the part#." They are convinced it is the correct bottle, but will order a new bottle just to be sure there was not a mix-up in the container. The bottle I have is basically black. You can hold it up to the sun, there is no blue or purple tint at all, just black. Dealer is on crack.

My Copper Red touch-up paid has "74" on top of it. Not sure why it says "32 V" for Copper Red above.

This site has additional info. I think the top label of the bottle and paint code has no correlation.

My Copper Red has a 74 on the top also. The 32V is the code from the first of the 2 links and is the actual paint code. The 74 on top must be another type of ID#. My door jam sticker says the paint code is 32V.

Hmm. I ordered some touch up paint from http://medcentermazda.com/ to pad an order for free shipping, didn't need it at the time. My invoice says Stormy Blue (35J) CX-9 2010 which is right, but the sticker on the bottle says "78". I might be in for a surprise if/when I need it!

EDIT: On Mazda's website it says Stormy Blue Mica (35J) with 0000-88-0154-78 as the part number. Maybe the 78 on the cap is from the part number.

The color code (or paint code) is printed on a sticker at the base of driver's side B-pillar.
