So today I started putting on some Leyland trade oil based Eggshell, it is supposed to be matched to F&B Hague blue, but when it went on the wood it looked almost green. The walls by comparison are a really nice inky blue. Both colours were mixed on the same machine by the same person.
The difference was so stark that I couldn’t believe they were the same colour, so I did a side by side test on some scrap wood.
Sure enough when wet they looked very similar, but now the emulsion has dried the eggshell looks more like a gloss, so I think this is the problem.
Is there a way (perhaps adding something to the eggshell) to lower the sheen? Or are there any alternatives.
