Sherwin Williams, th paint department at Home Depot, Ace, or Lowes can all analyze a dime to quarter sized chip of paint.

If you have a can of the original in a closet or the garage or something, that's even better because it will tell you the brand of paint used. See if there's a local place that sells that brand). Every paint company makes really similar finishes, but they can vary just enough to be able to see a re-painted splotch in the wall. If you do the whole wall floor to ceiling, corner to corner, the difference between the same finish from two different companies won't be noticeable.

I'd recommend using a roller, and learning how to cut-in (great videos on youtube for making it easy), and use latex paint because you can clean up stray brush marks with a damp rag right there on the spot.

You have to match both color and luster. If you do semi-gloss 9010 paint on a matte 9010 wall for example, you’ll be able to see all of your touch up bc the sheen is different.

You can try again, making sure you got the correct sheen, but be prepared to just repaint the whole wall…. With a sheen that matches (or at least is really close to) the other walls.

It’s a choice. You must approach situations looking for what you can learn. Sometimes it’s not until after it’s all over.

You must also free yourself of the fear of failure. Understand that growth only happens once you push yourself into discomfort. If you want a concrete example, consider muscles. When you work out, you’re actually causing micro tears in your muscles, which when filled with protein afterwards while you sleep turn into bigger muscles, and your brain develops the ability to recruit more of the actual muscle into future movements.

If you look at ultimate personal success as gaining experience and learning, then you aren’t unsuccessful till you start messing up the same thing in the same way. In a results based environment this can be tough so you’ll want to raise your threshold of acceptable performance to match. I for one though work in an extremely demanding high stakes arena and have always learned more through my mistakes and missteps than my perfect iterations.
