chainsaw oil and cheapest decent one

Bathroom colour matching
I have decided ( with OH's permission of course:D) to have a new bathroom. About matching I have got conflicting opinions. Some say it is safe to select items from different brochures, others say it is dangerous because there may be a mismatch.
