Help me tone this paint down!

I painted part of my bathroom BM Yarmouth Blue this weekend, hoping for a soothing, spa-like feel. What I got was a little more "electric blue" than I had expected!

It's not awful, in fact in some lights it's rather pretty, if a bit intense. What I was thinking of doing is going back to BM and getting some plain white paint and mixing it in, or else asking them to tint the white with a little black in order to "gray" it down as well as lighten it.

Do you think this will work, or does anyone have any other ideas? I'd hate to waste the paint. I shelled out the extra money for the new Natura.

(Natura paint is AMAZING, by the way. I don't think I'll ever use another type of paint again! That's ONE COAT you see in that picture, over a dark brown. Amazing coverage, and no fumes.)
