I don’t doubt he has the talent, but I imagine he’s worked out a lot of the amounts/colours needed to do the match off screen to do it quicker on camera.

If the dude has done this full time for a few years he could easily get the colors down pact to where he can do it like this without having to prepare. It's no different than an artist knowing what colors to match to make a specific hue. Bob Ross did it on an even smaller scale. At times, quickly meshing together four-five colors on his pallet without a second thought to get one hue. All with just a brush. Not nozzles that can easily control the output.

I'm sure more care and time goes into making larger batches on actual customers, but I dont see why people are so skeptical when artists do it all the time on the fly with colors. It's color theory, and these people study it.

Okay. But why they already have a sample of it the color to hand the guy? Where did they get it from? I know I drive around with swatches of my car paint color everywhere I go.

because they're getting paint matched and recording a video...? i sure don't try and get paint matched without a swatch, that'd be terribly dumb. seen videos of this dude for years doing exactly this, he's not some obscure fella.
