In my garage, I had to replace a bunch of drywall due to flooding. So I had it replaced and needed to repaint it. Unfortunately, I have no clue as to the exact paint color used in the garage by the prior owners. I went to HD and had them color match it and they got very close. The paint color is white but slightly yellowish white in case anyone was wondering.
The mixed paint turned out not to be exact. While it doesn't stand out too badly, it is also is visibly different if you look directly at it in good light. The new paint is slightly too white and not as yellowish as it needs to be. It doesn't stand out too much but its certainly not a perfect match.
So I was wondering if this is probably as good as it gets and I should just quit while I'm ahead or if it might be possible to get an exact match with further attempts. Would it be possible to get an exact match or will almost but not perfectly matching paint is what I can ever expect no matter how many times I try to mix an exact match to the old paint?
What is people's experience on this?
