Default Using old paint

I'm repainting the walls and trim inside my house. I have about a gallon
of the old paint (alkyd, satin sheen) that I'd like to use to touch up
dings in the baseboards and walls. Is is likely that this paint will
still match the old paint color-wise? How can I tell if the paint has
"gone bad"? Or should I just bite the bullet and buy some new paint and
pray that it matches the old color well enough to blend in?


Thanks,

Jean
