I've done this once before painting, and it came out fine. I mixed several different brands and sheens of one company's latex interior paint and ended up with even color and gloss. Of course, I got the color I wanted because I worked at the paint store at the time and tinted each gallon to the right color before mixing :thumbup: Mistints are just great ($3 per gallon).
Painting semi-gloss is going to be the rub. If you painted no more than 1-2 days ago, you should be alright putting new paint on the wall. If more time has elapsed, then the semi-gloss on the wall will have coalesced (curing process for latex) and be reluctant to accept new paint. It is never recommended to recoat latex paint during the 2 days - 2 weeks window after painting - it will peel off.
Second, glossy paints are a
to coat. Substrates are recommended to be clean, dry and dull, and uncured semi-gloss paints violate the dry and dull requirements.
The best system is to allow it to cure (2 weeks), use a de-glossing agent, and recoat. If that's a no-go, strip the uncured paint from the wall and repaint (re-prime if necessary).
