The paint sample swatch lied to me about my living room wall
Tbh, I was so excited to repaint my living room last weekend. But the paint color I picked looked way darker on the wall than on the swatch. Ngl, I was pretty annoyed after all that work. Honestly, I found out that lighting really affects how paint looks. So now I'm waiting to see it in the morning sun before I decide.

But lighting changes everything, so is it really that serious?

bro did you really just say lighting changes everything?? @oscar328 that IS the serious part, it makes or breaks the whole look.

Nah, lighting is just an excuse. The swatch is the truth. If it looks different, you picked the wrong color or messed up the mix. My kitchen is the exact same gray as the card, day or night. People just don't test it right, they hold a tiny card to a huge wall and get surprised. It's not that deep.
