Uh oh to Oh YEAH! My love story about "oops" paint!
So, I ran down to my local hardware store to pick up a gallon of this amazing paint color I dreamed up in my head. The inspiration was a way-too-expensive wallpaper I found on the internet. A dark olive with brownish undertones. It was going to be perfect on the wall behind my fireplace (which was the only remaining blue wall in my "Coastal Fog" colored living room...that had thus taken me three years to paint. I average a wall per year.) Anyhoo, I excitedly walked into the store and headed for the paint chips! But, alas! How could it be? There was NO SUCH COLOR! What was I going to do? Obviously, I was going to do what I usually do in the first place...look for the oops paint. I love oops paint! That mis-mixed mecca of paint paradise is where I normally go when I'm looking for some makeup for my walls. Once in a great while I'll take it like it is. Usually I have a little pigment added to make it dark...
