i've never before had colouring matching so frustrating (although choosing a colour is always tricky too).
i want to paint the chimney breast the same colour as the tiles inlaid in the cast iron fireplace ... so ... get out the colour charts, match it perfectly, buy the tinted tin and paint ...
only - the paint colour is nothing like the tiles. check the paint colour by putting a dab from the tin on the chart and let it dry. exactly the same colour. put the chart and dab up to the tiles to check. exactly the same colour. but colour on the wall is completely different ...
very frustrating.
oh - and i did i tell you again how much i loooooooove flexible gap filler?
