I have a large wall in a loft where it continues on the first and second floor and part is a really tall wall. I'd like to go ahead and paint the accessible parts and then hire a professional to paint the tall part of the ceiling.
If I paint my sections and they dry, will there be a noticeable seam or color difference when the contractor paints the taller area that ajoins my sections? I'm assuing for this that it would all come from a single large batch of paint.

you can paint it at different times but it's gonna show for sure. so,it's like you'll have a slight variation in the colour. may just look pretty.try it.

You can paint and it will all dry to the same color no matter which part is painted when. There will be no seam no matter if you paint one spot and then wait a month and then paint the rest.Even if you paint over the same area, it will dry the same color not darker.
Do 2 coats and a primer though. The paint may look lighter in the can and will be the real color you chose in about a week when it is fully dry. It should be dry tot eh touch though after one hour.

You would need to make sure that the paint is mixed really well at both times. There will still probably be a slight difference as everyone paints a little differently. I would make sure that you end your section in a nice even line. Tape off for a straight line. This way you can go for a while before the rest is painted.

Yes you can. You would want to buy all the paint at the same time, and keep it well mixed. The painter can "feather" the paint where old and new meet. Especially if you make the uppermost few inches of your paint a bit light or thin.
