    Exterior house paint help?

    I have a house that is painted orange 10 years ago, I recently bought new paint the same color and repainted a little of the house to touch up. When it dried the new paint looks way darker. I guess the paint faded after ten years. How do i get the new paint to match the old paint?

    I do no want to repaint the whole house because that will cost me $9000 for a 6000 square feet house

    you can try adding white paint to the new paint to lighten it that may work then again it may not it depends how much different the two shades are to start with

    Take a picture of the house and go to the paint store and tell them the color you want, just get a quart and try that.
