paint experts? Can I lighten a color myself?

I have a gallon of Benjamin Moore Ylang-Ylang. It's a soft yellow. If I want to use up the gallon but not paint another room the same color, do you think I'd have success cutting it with white? Like 60/40? 50/50? I'd love to get to like a Linen White -- save on paint and not let the gallon go to waste.

Worth a try? or mistake? Do paint stores do this?
