It depends on the quality of the paint. Higher quality house paints dry darker while paints made only for coverage and price tend to dry lighter.

Ideally, it should dry to the color of the chip. Higher quality paints darken as they dry, while lower quality paints will tend to dry lighter than they are when wet, however, they should all dry to the color of the chip. Depending on the lighting and colors of the accessories or surfaces that are in the area, the color could appear to be darker, lighter or have undertones that didn't show up at the paint store, but when compared to the paint chip in that environment, it should still match.
