I used leftover paint from 2010 on my fence and it came out a totally different color

That's a classic paint science fail right there. The pigments can settle and separate over a decade, no matter how well you mix it. Sunlight and temperature changes in the garage probably broke down the color agents too. Always test old paint on a scrap piece first, because the can label becomes a lie after a few years. Learned that the hard way on a bedroom wall.

Actually had good luck with ten year old paint in my shed, just shook the can for a solid five minutes. Maybe garage conditions vary a lot, @julia843. What brand were you using back then?
