Question for Painters (colors)

Without red and green, you're going to have a rough time making any earth/brown tones. red + green = brown.

A friend of mine, a professional painter, painted one client's dining room 8 times...next time she wanted a 'touch' more blue...and he shook her hand and said: "you're not going to make me crazy too!" and left.

.....and what's wrong with those colours?

Eh?

for more info on 'neutral'

Yes, some people are like that. Anal Retentive is the wording. Like the OP.

Jeepers! Maybe I should have said, "it SEEMS like I paint a room over and over". Just kinda like an expression ya know. You've never been disappointed with a room color? You've never painted a room two or three times to get it right? And it's not like it's painted the same year. I just finished painting the kitchen. I painted it last year too. The new color is growing on me, but it will probably be painted again next year. I call it persistence.

No one can meet your request -- "neutral" means something different to each person. That's why there are so damn many choices.

Go to a paint store or 2 and talk to the guys mixing the paint. Every store I frequent has at least one guy with enough experience to steer you the right way.

Actually it'd be better to get a test quart and paint a poster board.
