I'm looking for some neutral shades of paint.
I was wondering if anyone can supply me with the paint brand and chip
number of some nice neutral shades.

It seems I paint a room over and over again looking for the right
color. The color on the chip looks nice, but when I get it on the wall
there is too much red or green, etc... Or it's too light or dark.

If you paint for a living, I'd sure appreciate the brand/chip number
of the neutral paints you use.

Sorry, but that is why them make all those colors. What looks best sort
of depends on what each of us like.

I think the suggestion of getting a number of chips you like and leave
them in the room for a few days and check them out under all kinds of light.
You may also want to check around to see who it is and if anyone one in your
area has the option to buy just a small quantity of a color where you can
put it on your wall and see what it will look like. You may try several.
It would be littler money and little work. I think they were offering the
sample sizes for something like a dollar or two.
