A method for matching color and appearance of a target coating of an article is provided. The method includes the steps utilizing sparkle values of the target coating; color data of the target coating; and flop values based on the color data; to identify and select matching formulas based on sparkle differences, flop value differences, and color difference indexes. The method can be used for matching color and appearance of target coatings having effect pigments. This disclosure is also directed to a system for implementing the method. The method can be particularly useful for vehicle refinish repairs.
