Finding Gray

At last count, there are 9 quarts of gray-ish paint in my house.

I learned from my mother to never trust a paint chip---

bring it home and try it out, preferably on different walls of the room

and live with it through all the changes in light during the day,

and the artificial light at night.

It's the only way to know. I was in pursuit of Gray----you know, Basic Gray.

But the paint store doesn't carry Basic Gray----

there's Timeless Gray (very near baby blue on my walls!)

and Weathered Tin (blue, again, with almost a purplish tint to it!)

and Fired Steel (just too much blue in it!)

So then we swung over to some shady greens----

Jogging Path and Stone Lion were good ones for a room that suppose to be green!

Here's what I finally found, after colormatching a piece of sheetrock!!!!!

"Cittified" (which is something I'd rather not be!)

It's gray, finally.
