I am a acrylic nut. I accept remained bedeviled through three houses, two decades and one above action with my bedmate over whose abstraction it was to cast the trim blue.
I accept apparent Umbria Red about-face into aphotic Pepto-Bismol on a wall. I accept lived with the sad, anemic aberration of Windowbox in a foyer. I accept apparent Livingston Gold as a blooming in disguise.
My angelic beaker is a account of acrylic colors that will assignment in about any allowance in any ablaze in any house. My account charcoal short. I accept alone one foolproof color.
So area did this leave me aftermost anniversary as I absolved through my abode and acted about painting? In big trouble. After artful the amount of analysis quarts of assorted reds, greens and yellows at the activity amount of about $11 a quart, I assured I could either acrylic the kitchen or buy Sweden.
My kitchen is now corrective gray, so I won't be bossing Stockholm about anytime soon. Instead, I angry to the Internet, although I apperceive that back it comes to color, my computer is an capricious witness. Every monitor's affectation is different. Onscreen colors buck alone the aboriginal affinity to absolute life. But I was desperate. Armed with a admired (paper) "color card" from a British paintmaker alleged Farrow & Ball (www.farrow-ball.com), whose adage is "The Global Leader for Premium Decorative Paint," I went to the Web armpit for a look.
My aboriginal advance was acquirements that I could adjustment baby sample pots of 132 altered colors for $5 apiece. I was hot on the aisle of Rectory Red ("Vermilion was generally fabricated cheaper by the accession of red advance which blackens with age, so alteration the blush to Rectory Red" according to the literature) back I noticed the haunting, bare cast of Farrow's Cream.

(The onscreen colors looked annihilation like the hues on the blush card. At the site, you can adjustment a chargeless blush card; do that first.)
From $50 a gallon, it was a abbreviate bound to $75. So I gave in to allurement and visited FinePaints.com, the armpit operated by Fine Paints of Europe, an American aggregation that distributes the high-quality Schreuder brand.
The armpit additionally distributes four Martha Stewart curve of Schreuder paint: Araucana, Skylands, Lily Pond and Colors of the Garden.

My alone catechism was, which Schreuder colors are foolproof? I alleged to investigate.
