Paint color not matching, why? phrankbooth 06-15-2006

I painted a room with Berh Sandpoint on top of Berh white #75 Primer.
After noticing some bad areas, days after it was done, I decided to fix
those up by sanding, priming and painting over. But now the color is
darker and the whole thing looks worse because there's a darker patch.

So my question is, is there a technique for matching repainted patches
the same color as I have painted the room?

Why is the color now darker? I have stirred up the paint good before
painting to make sure that it wasn't settled.

If I can't fix this, I'll have to redo the whole room.

Any help/advice is appreciated!

Thanks,
--PhB
