So not only did I waste time painting the room, the damn sales guy at HD talked me into buying 2 gallons when I only needed 1. So...;. Anybody wanna buy a sealed can of Behr Ultra (Moss Print) that can not be returned. I am hoping maybe they can try turning it into a different color! :

I looked up the color. What don't you both like about it? Too light or too dark? Wrong shade? They can add tint to it - making it darker. You could also just buy a gallon of white and mix it yourself if it's to dark. Other options would be: if it's to dark - paint the trim and doors with the same color a few shades darker. If it's to light - paint the trim and doors white.

I normally (but not always) buy those sample jars before I paint, esp if the wife is going to have any say so in the color. I feel for you though - it's always tough. When I use to paint homes I always made the customers sign a sheet with the color selection. After getting burned on one cause they didn't like the color they picked once it was on the walls -pain the ass.

Hope it works out for you -

So they would not take it back but a nice girl there tried her darnest to make the shade we wanted. Tried a small area and its nothing like what want. It was a shade of green but once seeing it done it looks to country for us. So we decide on a blue/green/gray called Zen
