It's also worth considering if it's worth the drama. If it's a

typical

bedroom, is it that difficult to paint 4 walls? If the spot is

someplace

that's not noticeable, you may get away with not painting the whole

wall.

But if it's someplace visible, good chance to make it right you have

to

paint a wall or most of a wall, ie up to some break point, anyway. At

which point with brushes, rollers wet, how much harder is it to just

paint

the whole thing? With the matching thing, it's almost always multiple

trips back to the store too, until you get something that works.-



It's a 700 square foot bedroom loaded with crap. It would be a major

operation to paint all of the walls.



Thanks for the suggestions!



A 700 square foot bedroom?

Wow, that one bedroom is almost as big as my 2 bedroom apartments. which

are 20 feet by 40 feet!



Even if you had the original tint formula, you'd find that the original

paint wouldn't match now. That's because airborne dirt gradually causes

the paint on walls to get dirty, and that causes the paint to darken.

Even cleaning the walls will not get them back to their original colour.

So, matching the existing colour will give you a paint formula that

includes a bit more dark pigments than the original tint formula to

allow for that gradual darkening.



So, your best bet is still to try and get a decent colour match, and

then just paint one wall.

or paint the one bad wall in a different but complimentary color as a accent wall......

or clear out everything and do the job right once, so it wouldnt need done again for a long time.

or hang a picture to cover the bad spot
