Did some painting and had to match a color.

When I was done it looked ok to me.


Before my wife (who has essentially perfect color vision) could look at
it a friend of mine came over and said I did not match the colors correctly.


He's color blind...for gosh sakes and if he sees I did it wrong...no
need to go any further.


Wife said she'll help me when I re-do it.

Aw, wet paint looks different. You should have applied it dry!

It was a shadow box that I painted myself (latex)

then used the same paint to paint the shelves for it.


What I did not know is that my wife painted the shadow box with enamel
of a slightly different color.

I hope you had her get on her knees and apologize! A man's home is his
castle!
