It is not random. Paint mixing is one of the most tightly controlled operations you will encounter on a daily basis, if the store has modern equipment. You can get any color matched, and buy a gallon or more today, then go back for another gallon next week and you will not be able to tell the difference.

We used to have to "box" the paint which means mix all the gallons together, and you did not expect one more gallon next week to be a perfect match, but nowadays they seem to all be pretty accurate.

Another term for "a shot of black" around here is "B-1", because that's what is printed on a gallon can if they put whatever a "shot" is. But saying "B-1" is risky like trying to use police code when talking to 911. It's considered protocol to simply say "put a shot of black in it" and it will be fine.

This is me out shopping with the family unit. "Big Head" is my nickname lol.
