Color Code 456 vs 471

Simple question. I have an 07' XC90 my wife crashed. I'm looking for a Willow Green Pearl Metallic (CC 471) fender and bumper...I know it won't match exactly!
Anyhow, I'm finding lots and lots of Crystal Green Metallic (CC 456), which appears to be the same color. The splotches shown on sites are the same, but it doesn't make sense why they'd have two names for the same color.

So, do any of you Volvo enthusiast happen to know if they really are the same? If not, do you know what is different? They both show to be metallic, but only 471 says pearlescent....I'm guessing that is what the difference is but wanted to ask if anyone knew for sure. Again, I realize the 471 will likely be a bit off as well....I just don't want to have to pay to get her painted

Black label, back side of passenger door pillar. Bottom of label in the center, you'll see the paint code with maybe another number (shade).

That's what you need if you're trying to match.

Yes, my color is 471, I'm wondering if 456 is the same....i know it sounds stupid but it appears to be the same... didn't know if anyone could confirm for me
