How can I lighten chalkboard paint?
I want to make my wall grey, and I thought it would be cool if it could be a chalkboard as well. Can I mix regular white paint into it, or is there already grey chalkboard paint that I can get at like Home Depot? I want a dark grey but not so it makes my room super dark. Thanks!

There is gray chalkboard paint you can buy. Here is a link to some:
The cost of painting an entire wall with a chalkboard paint may be excessive. You might think about doing a section (paint actually goes a long way) in the chalkboard paint and the rest of similar color. Maybe put a frame around chalkboard painted area using molding strips painted to match the rest of the wall.
Bama, yes, now chalk board paint can be purchased in various colors these days. I'd not recommend putting regular paint in with chalk board paint but a sales associate at a home improvement store might provide you good advice.
Yes! Lowes can tint the chalk board paint into almost any color you want!
You can make your latex paint into chalk paint by adding calcium carbonate powder mixed with some water. Then season the paint with some chalk just like regular chalk board paint.
You can buy chalkboard paint or Martha Stewart has a DIY chalkboard paint recipe which you can look up online. You can use any color that way.
