Touch up Paint too dark

I have a 2002 e53 in Estroil Blue. I bought BMW touch up paint #335, but it looks WAY too dark. The car was garaged for most of its life until I got it. I can't imagine that the paint has faded that much. This paint looks like the darker blue that I see on newer Beemers.

The placard under the hood says Estroil Blau 335/5. I don't know what the /5 is about, but I can't find any other estroil blue paint number but 335. Just wondering if I made a mistake, or if this is normal.

I have some chips that I'm working on now, but I also have a place about 2" across right at the back of the hood just before the windshield that just came off when I was washing the car recently. There was no visible damage before this piece just pealed off. Not sure what I'm going to do about that one.

Any ideas on the paint color?
