We're really struggling with the wall color in the kitchen. We've waffled back and forth so many times. There are a complex set of issues. The color we pick has to work with the trim (and be darker than the trim), the cabinets, the countertop, the adjacent rooms (one of which is blue), etc. We got 2/3 of it painted the other day and then, after seeing the color in action, decided we didn't like it. So....another do-over, only this one is our fault...I guess...I mean, not really though...
Start the process over with the paint swatches... I've been concerned because the color we just decided we don't like really doesn't look like its swatch did. This time we selected six swatches and bought paint in each of those colors. Several of them just don't match. How in the heck are you supposed to decide on this stuff? Back at the paint store they were clueless -- just guessing at possible reasons. No help at all.

Supposedly, Lowes and/or Home Depot (I think I have seen it at both) can prepare a paint that matches anything you bring in. I guess everything is relative but perhaps one of them might be the solution. (That is, if you are not already going to them) I have found that the biggest problem is lighting...florescent, incandescent, natural...amount from fully lit to perpetually in shadow. Good luck.
