Here is an old painter's trick. Use a full color wheel sample
book. Pick out the color you want. Go 2 shades lighter in the
book. Paint. I've done this for years with customers and never
had anyone say I had the wrong color. Most people cannot envision
an entire room painted the color of a small 1" sample.

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.
