We decided to use the lighter yellow/beige for the whole room. If we don't have quite enough paint, there's a can the previous owner left of a light almondy color that we can paint the far wall with.
Honestly I think our plan of using two colors wasn't a good idea anyway, given that we have white crown & side molding and baseboards. I think the white/cream baseboards will look better with just the yellow.
We will look for a charity that might want the paint. Else will bring it to the recycling depot. That was an expensive lesson as we wasted $100.

Oh the joys of paint colors
Yea it’s very expensive. I remember back in 88-90 I could get a decent paint for like 20 bucks. I use to repaint my home 3-4 times a year lol ( undiagnosed Bipolar )
I want to repaint my kitchen but my Asthma is awful anytime we paint anymore despite windows open and fans blowing.
Hope the color works well for you
