Paint problems

Choosing the right paint color is the hardest thing in the world and I'm not exaggerating. I'm not.

You spend hours browsing Pinterest for the "best greige paint color" to which your preferred color looks absolutely perfect and cheery, yet still cool and moody. And then you slap it on your walls and WHAT? Is that purple?? And yes, it is. Because your house isn't professionally lit and photoshopped. It's just a hallway with no windows. So no, it's not going to look like Pinterest. 

But then when the "best greige paint color" isn't quite right, you go back to Pinterest and find the "best greige paint color for hallways" and do it all again. 

Twenty paint samples later (and out $60) you still haven't found the "perfect greige" so you end up slapping on the purple gray and call it a day. (purple isn't so bad right?)

Here's to finding the "perfect greige." If you have, please sound off in the comments. I'M DESPERATE, PEOPLE.

  2. I ended up having a custom paint mixed - started with Behr Silver something..and just had them keep going darker. It's similar to Revere Pewter by Sherwin Williams.
