If you really care about matching existing paint, you want specialized equipment. Professional colorimeters call handle this task with ease, but I don't think smartphone cameras are quite up to the task.
If I wanted to do this, I'd try something like the Color Muse [1]. It's a $60 Bluetooth peripheral that proports to do accurate color scanning. Then an app on your phone tells you the specific paint that corosponds to the scanned color.
I haven't used it personally and can't vouch for it's performance, but I wouldn't trust phone camera alone and wouldn't spend $1k+ on a pro model, so I figure it's worth a shot
