Paint Tester

We found some time today to continue with "the mission" of painting the extension. We painted the garden wall a few weeks ago and it turned out brighter than we'd planned. We'd already bought 2 paints, one for the walls, one for the door sills/frames but we'd began to wonder about that. The bright is sandstone, the darker is mid-stone, although it looks more like sandstone to me. We think it will go a bit duller, the paint label is more grey, like the real stone on the wall on the right - we'll see.

So we mixed this wall up to see different combinations and we're swaying towards mid-stone for it all. I'll give them another coat tomorrow and see how they dry, but does any paint pot label ever look the same colour as the paint, I don't think so!
