Paint colours that mysteriously change.

Feb 11, 2008 4 Replies

I didn't want a green and purple room, but that's what I got. The paint that should have been a neutral colour - a bit like magnolia has gone green. The paint that should have been darker - heading towards taupe, has gone purple. The weird thing is that peeling the labels off the tins and holding them up to the walls, the labels change colour too.



Why does this happen, and how can I avoid it?

You shouldn't have gone to that chameleon paint mixing shop. ;-)

Google "color temperature" and "schizophrenia- visual hallucinations"

or synaesthesia if the room wasn't silent at the time

What sort of lighting is there in the room?
