Just realized my phone flashlight can mess with paint matching

I was touching up a wall in my hallway last week and the color looked perfect under my phone's flashlight. Walked out to the kitchen and the patch was SUPER obvious, like a different shade entirely. Turns out LED lights have a different color temperature than the sun, so the paint match was fooling me. I checked the can and it was the same product code, but the lighting completely changed how it looked. Has anyone else had this issue with LED bulbs making paint colors look way off?

Try checking it at dusk, that's when paint lies the most.
