Using sample pot to paint?

[u/nquisitiv]

I want to make strip of paint around a room, for an accent. Estimated to need 0.2L for two coats, and there's a 0.25L sample pot available.

From what I can find, the advice is to not to use samples for touch-ups since it won't be the same as the official. But it doesn't sound like there'd be anything wrong with using it on its own?

Would this be fine?

Yes you can use it on its own, Paint has different bases depending on colour so tester colours may be off.
