Lesson 1: ALWAYS buy more paint than you 'think' you'll need and mix them as Denny noted.

Lesson 2: As one who has custom mixed paint it's very easy to get a color just a tad off when some of the tints in the recipe can be one or two drops and it's common for an extra drop to fall. That's why you refer to lesson 1. Even factory mix paint has batches that you need to check when buying. If you buy two or more containers of the same color but different batches you will often get differing hues. Refer to lesson 1.

Lesson 3: If spraying metallic paint the color can be changed by using different air pressure as Leonard noted AND it can also be changed by the amount of thinner used so always spray all panels at the same time using the same mix, gun and pressure.
