So, I picked a color called "Divine White" for the upstairs hallway thinking that it would be an extremely light/white version of the khaki color in our Master Bedroom. Well, the color did not turn out as I was expecting.
Here is a picture of the upstairs hallway with a coat of white primer on it...
And here is the hallway with a partial coat of "divine white" paint...
As you can see, it is sort of a "fleshy" tan color that is nowhere close to "white". I don't know exactly why, but I hate it! It's too peach-y. Or pink-y. Or something. It's just not right.
So what do we do now???
I guess we go back to the store and buy new paint and start over. Ugh.
Wish us well on the second try!

your home is looking so beautiful katie. Any time you need help painting i'd be glad to help. I understand the frustration with all that work and not loving it.
ReplyDeleteWell, Katie, its not a bad color.... its warm and soothing; comfortable feeling. But if you really dont like it then change it.
ReplyDeleteIt's not awful. But it's not something I can live with either. And it looks worse in person. :)
