This weekend we were supposed to have a color picked out for the exterior of the house. We were waiting for the stonework to be completed so we could have Charlotte help us match a color to it.
We went over a bunch of colors with her last week and finally picked one that we thought looked good. We asked that a sample be painted on the house so we could see it for final approval.
I have a general question: Why doesn't the paint look the same when it's on the house as when it is in the store. We held up 8 1/2" x 11" samples up to the stone, in the sun, and agreed that the color looked good. It was a shade of beige. Which is fine. When it went on the house, it looked more of a muddy color.
We spent the rest of the weekend trying to find colors at Sherwin-Williams that matched what we wanted. We found a house in our neighborhood, several streets away, that has the same stone as our house. We really like the color on that house so we've told Charlotte that somehow, some way, she needs to figure out what that color is.
Hopefully it won't be too much trouble and it'll all work out.
