But, to be honest I don't know. Probably best to just dispose of it, and get new - that is my plan B
It's generally a good idea to keep the paint since different lots always have slightly different colors and as paint ages, it does change color slightly. Having the same age paint in the container as on the wall almost usually guarantees a perfect match for touchups.
