When I mix up colors I like to write down the recipe with how many drops of each color to make the end result. I then take an index card and put those drops on it and mix up by hand. I then let it dry and file it away in a clear plastic folder so when ever I need it I have the script with a color blotch right there to see. Helps when you are forgetful like me. I can then make up a 2 oz bottle if I really use the color a lot by mathematically figuring out how much will fit into 2 "of the bottle so I'm not counting 200 drop here and 50 there. I know that description is vague but it is easy if you think about it.
