Refilling Pro 100 cartridges - I used the wrong grey

Today I refilled all of my Pro 100 cartridges.  They're modified Canon OEM, and refilling with Precision Colors ink.  I accidently put the tiniest amount of Light Grey in the regular Grey cartridge.  The cartridge was almost empty, and as soon as I started squeezing the bottle went "oh $h!t" and stopped.  I topped the rest off with the correct Grey.

So...I know the obvious answer would be to flush the cartridge or get a new one.  But, how much do you think this will really impact print color quality?  I'm just printing for fun,  not selling anything.

I'd rather not flush this cartridge (never done that) and from what I've seen that's a process.  Not really wanting to 'bake' this in the oven and all that jazz, nor do I feel like spending $$ for another full set (can't really buy single cartridges modified).

Hoping this will be mostly OK, since it was two shades of grey.  If I mixed blue in the yellow or something I'd be more concerned.

Thoughts?
