That stuff will mix OK? That'd be a help.

You would have to mix enough

Shades of a color are not finite. Somebody said ya never get a
perfect match, and he was right.

I will settle for "pretty close" and maybe the dust and years
will eventually help. Just bothers me when it sticks out like
the proverbial "sore thumb".

Throw a handfull of mud on the ceiling at the other end of the room.
