Bamboo Green
You know how it is. You have the idea. You stand in front of all the colors at your local big box store and you see all the shades of green. Do you know how many shades of green there are? A great deal of them! You zero in on one, yes that's it. The color of green. You even bring another body with you, yes she says that is it. You take your 2x4 swatch to the man. He mixes it. You hand over the cash. You rush home in anticipation of the awesome color you have just selected. The room is taped. You gently pour the paint in the tray, load the roller up and roll on the wall. Wait a minute, it looks a little bright. Well everyone knows, you think to yourself, that paint dries darker. One wall down, then 2..3 and then the final wall. Perhaps a second coat is needed. Second coat applied. Still very bright. Sleep on it. Waking the next morning you glance into the room and WOW your eyes actually hurt. You know it is all wrong but wait a minute perhaps the person who will actually spend 12 hours a day in the room will like it. Nope he says it makes him dizzy, jet lag I inquire? Back to the other big box store hand over another square (Thank you Judy) and come home again and roll the paint on. Olive 05 it is.
