Re: Can’t match touch up paint to original coat

If you did some drywall repair there, it could be that the worked area is smoother than the rest of the wall. But that's not what it looks like --- looks like the sheen is different.
When touching up a wall years later, I just assume I will need to repaint the whole wall corner to corner.
 
Re: Can’t match touch up paint to original coat

... used a 3 inch brush to paint, for some reason using a roller sticks out more when it dries

Roller leaves different texture than brush. Before you re-paint the whole wall, roll a couple of coats of paint over the repaired areas, just so that you have the same texture below.
