Painting project

So I have spent the past week painting my room. No big deal. It has been a big project, but that is okay, I've needed a good project. I am really happy with the end result. Yesterday I was almost done when I ran out of paint. No big deal, I just had the corners to do on two walls, and I decided to continue the painting into the bathroom since it is all open and connected. So I go get my new paint, proceeded to finish off my room and started on the bathroom. To my HORROR, I realized that the new paint is slightly darker than the first two gallons. It looks awful! I didn't notice as I was painting, I just thought it was darker because it was wet. Now I need to go back to Lowes, hopefully they can match my original paint, then I can fix it. As I was lamenting this to Nate and showing him how awful everything looked, I detected a bit of a snicker coming from him. I started whining, but he told me I would be laughing if it had happened to him. He is right. So I will laugh, and hope for a quick fix! So what do you think, is it noticeable? Ha ha
