Bought 4 gallons of Home Depot (Behr) latex paint for some room painting.

I used roller and edge tool to paint the first room. *It looks great.

However, on the second room, the part where I used the edge tool shows up
lighter that the walls where I used the roller. *Different gallons were
used, but mixture was the same.

What would have caused this? *The paint is completely dry now.

Thanks.

I would suggest that not even on the same machine can you get an
exact match, but generally you get very good matches. That is why you
should never use two different mixes on the same service WITH OUT
mixing them. Mixing eliminates the problem. I would also suggest
that there is going to be a different appearance between a rolled
surface and the typical edger surface. In fact, there will usually be
a small difference between two different people rolling a wall.

Those differences are very small and usually no one notices them,
but they are there.
