[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every paint you buy, unless you're just using the base white they sell on the shelf, has to be mixed. If you have a coded color, they have to add other tints to the base to make that color. Most whites aren't pure white (because that would be too stark) but have other undertones mixed in. Have you actually painted a spot with the new paint and let it dry? Often paint color appears different before it dries. [/quote] This, exactly. And if the color doesn't match your walls, either you had the wrong code, or their colors have changed. Neither of which is the fault of the HD paint staff. If you want to try again, use a utility knife to cut a small square from a mostly hidden area of your wall, and peel the drywall paper coating off. Take that to HD for color matching. You can either spackle over the whole square before repainting, or stick the square back down and spackle over the edges.[/quote]
