Hi everyone,
I just moved into a new flat, and I'd love to paint the living room, but I need some advice from the experts first!
Currently, three of the walls are a darkish red colour, and the fourth wall is an off-white/beige. I'm going to paint all four walls the same lightish grey (which I've been told is a good colour for obliterating reds?), but I'm worried the three walls won't match the fourth one once they've all been painted (because of the two hugely different colours underneath).
So what can I do to ensure all four walls match? Also (and this is probably a stupid question) what's the best way to get an accurate colour from tester pots given the colours in the room at present? Should I just paint them onto a bit of card or something??
Hope I've explained myself correctly, and thank you in advance for all replies!
