Touch up paint for 2002 SEL

Hi, I attempted to fix some small nicks today after purchasing touch up paint at Autozone. I followed instructions and found paint codes on decal on Drivers side doorjam. My has the two tone set up with light green (spruce green) and tan on the lower portion. The codes on the door are FS and BQ. FS is the Spruce Green and BQ the lower. When I got the paint home and went to apply it was no where near the color being much too dark. Anyone have any suggestions? I guess just go to the Ford Dealer--huh?

Yes that's going to be your best bet. That's where I got my paint, but it is still not going to match 100%.
