Mixing Paint?
I had 2.5 lt of Valspar paint mixed but unfortunately it looks the wrong shade for my room.
If I bought a sample pot of a darker colour and added a touch it might work.
My question is for anyone in the know - would I need to get Valspar sample pot or could I use any, Dulux etc.?
I wondered if maybe they are differant compositions and wouldn't mix properly unless it was Valspar!

I would go back to whoever mixed the tin and ask them for advice. Depending how friendly they are they might be willing to add a bit more tint to the tin you've got, or at worst could mix a sample pot using exactly the same base.
I wouldn't try mixing different brands, you'll have no idea how they may react with each other.

I think sample pots are a different (inferior) type of paint, I personally wouldn't mix them in to the proper paint.
