Will the patch be invisible?
Under typical indoor lighting, yes, texture matched, painted to blend, no halo. Under raking sunlight at 8 a.m. on a south-facing wall, you might see a very faint difference because the old paint has aged. We'll feather the new paint out as wide as needed to hide it.
Can you match orange peel texture?
Yes, orange peel is the most common San Diego texture. Contractors run it with a hopper gun and compressor, test on a board first to match the splatter size and density, and show you the result before touching the wall.
