I always just use white if all u want is to get a lighter shade . If u wanted a lighter shading effect , then I just use some whip shading ...

Instead of mixing white with your blue try mixing blue with white. In onther words. Fill a cup with white then ad the blue to get the lighter shade you want. I've found that adding white to a color to lighten it dosent seem to work to the degree I'm trying to get. So I tried it backwards and it worked fine.
