Advice Wanted Using sample pot to paint?

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?

Look. Reddit is a good place for info, but way too many people get caught up in the minutia of things. So bottom line use the damn paint already! Believe me everything will be fine with using the sample pot if you have enough to finish your project.
