Is this wall ready for painting?

Post image

Hi all! I had a wall plastered on Sunday and I was wondering if it looks dry enough for the first mist coat? Top picture is Sunday, bottom picture is today.

There are some darker patches that look identical so I'm wondering if that's where some of the old plaster was/is, rather than them being damp?

I thought you had to leave it a few weeks for the plaster to fully dry. Then you’ll need to seal it before you paint it
