Default Touch-up paint from dealer or auto parts store?

Are both paints the same? I have a few nicks here and there that need to be touched up. Should I get the paint from the dealer, or can I just go to my local auto store and get some there? Is there any real diference??

I just bought a bottle of touch-up from the Acura dealer yesterday. I never had any luck finding my exact color at auto parts stores, so I just went to the dealer and gave them my paint code, BG-33P and they got me a bottle of paint, which BTW is called Paradise Blue (the teal 94-95 Teg color).

*edit* $15 for a 1/2 oz. bottle of paint on that website?!?!?! Jeez the bottle I got from Acura was less than $5.
