The method with smaller amounts is to add part of new can to old before
it is completely gone - about 1/3 left. Doing same from 5 gal can
should work fine, especially with sprayer where you can blend a little.
If you pop the lid of all four buckets, not in glaring sun, and don't
see a color difference it should be okay. Good enough for my eyes :o)
