Can you do a "light coat" with henna to get a more subtle color?

I did some highlights on my hair with henna, and they're quite a vibrant shade of orange. I steeped it in room temperature water with a splash of lemon for seven hours and left it in my hair for two hours.

I want to do the rest of my hair, but would like a slightly less extreme color. If I left the henna in for less time, say only half an hour, would I be able to get an in between shade? Or are there other methods for toning down the henna color? Thanks!
