SNIP HAPPENS
I have written down the paint color codes from Benjamin Moore for the
building, so I think I can touch up stuff when I leave.

Buy the paints *now*. Buy a quart of each that you need. Dollars to
doughnuts in
three years when you move the formulations for colors you have so carefully
written down will have changed and the same color, by the same
manufacturer, will
no longer be available.

The paint will have probably dried up in the can and the landlord will
likely repaint with recently purchased paint anyway upon the tenant
moving out. Really, this is no big deal. If the OP has doubts, just read
his lease or ask his landlord.
