Absolutely do this. Paint chips are wholly inadequate for telling how it will look, and I've found that generally teh colors are more intense in real life than on the chip (because it's a bigger area).
Even better is to buy some heavy stock paper/cardboard and paint that--two coats. Then tape it up on the wall in different places with different light..
