What I would suggest for cheapness and less work is mixing a small amount of the paint with some white untill it lightens enough and re-do the touch up bits again with the lighter shade.
If you dont have any white maybe a neighbour would be kind enough to give you a small amount?
I presume its emulsion (water based) so make sure you mix it with the same type of paint eg. water based. Sorted.
Good luck
