Default Decorative painting

I plan to use the sponge-on technique, with one or two coats over the
latex base coat. Almost everything I've read talks about using glazes
over the base coat, with glaze meaning a transparent "paint" that I
would tint to which ever color I choose, using separately bought
coloring agents.

Rather than going to this trouble and expense, why can't I simply have a
paint dealer tint a latex paint of the same sheen to the color I want,
selected from one of those ubiquitous color cards that all paint stores
display?

Thanks,

Ray


Thats what pros do, but a final coat might be different, its all
paint, cheap water base stuff, tint is free, or go where it is,
