Just as I'm about to embark on some serious shed time SWMBO decides the house needs a coat of paint.
She is actually right, but I don't admit to that. The walls are a reasonably innocuous pale grey BUT, every room
has feature wall and therein lies the problem.
Some of the walls are/were very garish - purple, vivid blue etc. The real trouble however, lay with one particular colour.
The feature in the office and the laundry ( for Pete's sake! ) is a mauve colour not too far removed from the grey in most
Light conditions.
So, Ana takes a nice sized sample from the Laundry and we trot off to the paint shop. Get 15 litres with 1/2 tinting as we
wanted to go lighter. Well Guess what? Ana took the colour sample from the wrong wall!! But worse still, we did not even
realize that the bloody laundry was two tone until this morning!!!!
Now we have 15 useless litres of paint!!!!:~:~:~
