Depends what the color of your car is and if it has flake in it. I usually try the dealership stuff first. Phone in the vin # pick it up the next day for $8.
paintscratch.com is also very good.
small bottles, paint pens, larger amounts like pints and quarts, clearcoat, spray cans. Lots of options.
I've bought their Imola Red touch up pens and bottles and they were good to deal with. Shipped to Canada without issue and that's a huge bonus for me.
Give them a look.

I've had mixed results with dealership paint, PaintScratch, AutomotiveTouchUp...you name it and sometimes it'll match and other times it won't. The *best* way to go is to have a paintshop get some matched for you, but that's a huge hassle and you gotta know people who will work with you. Absent that route, pick a source and see if it matches...just a trial-and-error thing IMO. Not that metallics ever seem to match all that well anyhow; just the nature of the beast when you're doing a touchup with a brush/etc. instead of a spray gun as the flake doesn't flow out the same.
