After going through about a million colors, Kyle and I took a trip to Wal-Mart to find something comparable to Behr. They have a few nice brands, but what's really awesome is their brand ColorPlace. It's the cheapest latex paint you will ever find. $7.99 a gallon for flat paint of your color choice.
GENIUS for many reasons:
1. I'm not about to invest a lot of money in someone else's real estate and this facelift was less than $20.00
2. Flat paint is easy to touch up and easy to paint over
3. I got motivated to paint at 1:00 am, and Wal-Mart was the only place open
So... anyways... the color from ColorSpace is called Gray Granite. It's a cooler gray and almost looks blue in some lighting. I really like it.
We originally picked this color from Behr and just matched it with the cheaper brand. Behr is $20-25.00 a gallon for interior paint, so it worked to our benefit:
We DEFINITELY had to prime the awful green wall (to the left) first though. It was a pain.
But, now we have an AWESOME living/dining room.
