There is nothing worse than checking your paint job the next day and realizing the colors at the top and side of your walls (where you used a brush) are a different shade than the paint that was applied with a paint roller.
If it looks like you are running out of paint and you don't think you will have enough to finish the room, you should get an extra can of paint and combine it/them with the existing paint before starting your next wall.
When you start the next wall with your new paint, treat it like it was a different color. This will ensure you have color consistency on all your walls and prevent the frustration of having to do it over.

Painting Mistake #5
Thinking you can get more matching paint
Just because you get the same type of paint using the same color formula does not guarantee the color will match exactly. The best way to get around this is to mix all the paint that is supposed to be the same color in a 5-gallon pail and stir it. This is the only way to ensure you will have color consistency throughout. This is especially true with darker colors so make sure you mix those paints before you start painting.
