Default Match the old paint

My brother proposes to get a can of light colored paint, an off white
or beige I think. I proposed electronically matching all the paints
where we have do not desire to change the color.

Which of us is right?



Sounds like you just want to do a quick and cheap job in either case. Green
over green will probably work best as the little misses won't show as much
as with a different color. If you are going to do a quality professional
job, it does not matter because a little time and care you can easily
overcoat any other color.

If you can take a small sample, they probably have a similar color on one of
the chips on display.
