Hi folks - I am trying to paint a wall in a cream or very pale milky coffee colour (matt emulsion). The colour already on the walls (first over new plaster) is supposed to be Pale Primrose but has come up bright lemon. The paints I have tried look fine until I put them on the wall then dry out in varying lilac shades !! Mad but true..... I have painted a patch with white matt emulsion and then tried the cream over that, but it doesn't make much difference.
Is there something else I can put on the walls as a basecoat to get a true colour result ? Is it possible that there is something in the plaster skimcoat that is leaching out into the paint ? I have emulsioned many walls and never had this problem before......
Any opinions gratefully received.
