So  I'm pretty happy with the results I got.

Hard to say without actually seeing pictures of your hair. When using 10 volume you typically will get darker results as most color swatches are done using 20 Volume Developer.
 
You probably should have toned it with 20 Vol Developer for 5 - 7 minutes then checked the results. You can always tone more if you need to. Also the porosity of your hair has an effect on the results as well. This is why this typs of stuff is best left up to the professionals.
 
If you want lighter blonde now I'd suggest some blonde highlights done professionally at a salon as they would need to bleach out the hair to lighten it. Don't attempt it yourself.

I'd suggest you give it a few days and see if it fades.
Strand test, strand test, strand test!
