Hi
I've bought Valspar Trade Walls and Ceilings Tough Matt paint, tinted with Blueberry Ice from B&Q - https://www.diy.com/departments/val...prd?colour_name=Blueberry+Ice&hex_code=d6e2e8 and after painting the corners and edges in the room the colour looks much darker than on the paper sample.
So I'm thinking of mixing it with a white paint to dilute the colour. I could just get another can of the same paint in white from B&Q for mixing. But it's an expensive one (£42 for 2.5l) and I already have more than I need (needed about 3l so had to get 5l can for £60). So I'm thinking of mixing it with white Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt, which I have some spare - https://www.screwfix.com/p/dulux-tr...GQEYjoAeLa-ioP0TeVgaArKgEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
My question is, can I actually do it without ruining all the paint? They are both matt, water based emulsions, so I assume it should be fine, but would like to hear a professional opinion. I understand that the original Valspar paint attributes (toughness etc.) might be slightly compromised, but I don't mind too much.
Any help or opinion would be greatly appretiated.
Thanks
