Depending on how it dries (lighter or darker) will determine whether to actually use that shade or select another couple of chips within the same "range" of grey and do additional tests. I work in the print industry and deal alot with "PMS" colors where there are various ranges of shades/tones within each color. It may take a few pints/quarts before I hit it but the shade should be pretty dog gone close when I'm done...

Aha.......I now see the method to Marty's Madness...........He's got his OWN "INHOUSE" High Tech Gizmo". Nothing like being able to call in the "A" Team when needed. I hope you're home by now, Denise, 'cause I think Marty's needing some good moral support about now, after working alone for the past week or so, (and maybe even a real hand as well, since that haymow door has kinda got him slowed down a bit). Soooooo.....good luck on your color selecting, and I hope you hit it right the first try.
