Default Mixing paint to match the existing paint...

Hi everyone ~

I am doing a scrape and paint on my garage, and I do not have enough
house paint left to do the job. I brought a fresh chip of the color I
need to Lowe's (charcoal gray). They matched it up using Olympic flat
exterior 25 year paint, but I notice now that it is slightly darker
than the original.

Can I mix in a bit of flat white a little at a time, mix it up and
match it to the existing, or is that too difficult to do?

I am going to fully cover the siding, I just don't want the garage to
be a shade darker than the house if I can help it.

Thoughts are appreciated.
