If possible, try to get the turf from the same lawn, maybe from around the edge, even if it means reseeding the area you took the turf from, that way its sure to match. It really depends wich piece is visually more important. Finally, if your taking up turf to do the repair, make sure you water it well before lifting, this will make your job much easier, and dont forget, water water water !
