IME and IMO this is the best solution for the OP assuming that the new paint
color is pretty close. *One can also feather out by diluting the paint.


It's not at all, that's the problem. I've had three different batches
of paint mixed and only one was close enough to even try putting it on
the wall, and it is clearly different - patches look like shadows.
