Zografia A Hey maybe you should have checked this out before painting your fireplace area? I hate when grey turns purple, unless I have planned on it. I have about 6 sample jars on my cabinet, most of them turned pink on the wall instead of tan. At least I didnt buy a gallon! But now I dont know what to do with the samples, they are matte. hmmm Dont know what to use them on. -
I didn't paint my fireplace area... That is a faux headboard (done with paint on the wall with wood trim around it) it's in a bedroom... However the bedroom is getting a full make over and the headboard will no longer be used... That is why I chose to paint samples there. I decided to go with the color in the middle ;) -
Bernice H the new paint is a little darker than the old, but still purple! they should change their samples! never buying from that company again! i have not heard of any brand here having color samples. it would be great! -
If you are seeing purple, it is my camera giving poor photo quality. I assure you that there is no purple in the actual colors on my wall. The old color is a baby blue and the new colors are silver sages (sage greens with a touch of silvery grey). They are much prettier in person than what you see in the pic.

I got 16 different shades of blue before I decided on a color for my craft room. The color I chose was a combo of two. -
@anyonedecorate I think they were talking with each other not saying your colors look purple! I love this idea, I may have to do this before I paint my dining room! -
Melissa-TheHappierHomemaker - I think you may be right... I was confused (lol). I definitely recommend doing the samples... It makes it so much easier to choose!

Yep, it is easy to get confused on here,( especially when you are confused to begin with!) Speaking from experience! !! My friend Zografia, Above,has problems with her grey..looking purple, but she is in Greece, dont know if they have samples as we do here.
