Different shade of paint to what was originally done

    Hey all,
    I bought a new house in a new estate last year and recently thought it was time to do some touch ups where we've made a few marks. I got the paint code number from the foreman for what they used throughout the estate so I went off to AIC paints which is where the painters were also supplied and they mixed up a small tin for me.

    When I got home I did a small patch test and the colors are completely different shades.

    Should there really be a difference in shade color even after a year or would it be common practice for the painters to water down the paint somehow when they initially painted the house?

    Just checking if anyone else has had this experience in the past.
