Sorry about the paint in the bedroom, but at least you are finding the funny side…
What no wussy sit-ups today?

Unlike apparently all paint colour guides @beanielou! 😁
By 'big blue canvases' I'm hearing 'throw it into the sea', and you're correct in this thinking @KajiKita 😂
Sorry Miss, @doingitanyway, will do it tomorrow, promise Miss, I was at work all day, honest

Were you looking at real life paint colour cards or was it computer monitor colour failure?

I can’t believe all this incompetence with wrong paint colours/fittings/anything generally build related. How frustrating 😖

It was online @WelshmansDaughter but we looked at several pics on several devices. There is no way mauve of any type should come out this pink. In fact I'm not sure that this pink has ever been seen before. Might see if Anish Kapoor wants to buy it
It is utterly ridiculous @Sun_Addict but the hallway green looks nice, so we might just live on the hallway

You are now morally obliged to post a picture of this pink 🤣 In my head it's Pepto Bismol pink

good job you can currently smile about your pink bedroom. I keep humming "PIP's a Barbie girl in a Barbie world" so thanks very much for that ear worm 😎

This is a random theory, but you are absolutely sure that the paint you are ordering is what is making it to the walls, aren't you? Is it worth seeing if you can get a tester pot of the relevant colour so you can see for yourselves what it looks like in real life? I confess I'm the kind of cynic that won't do ANYTHING paint wise without a tester pot now having had so many colours which looked right on screen/swatches look totally different on an actual wall.
I guess otherwise you're just going to need to invest in some fairy wings…
@Blackcats in retribution for you now giving ME the Barbie Earworm I'm just going to leave the suggestion of Whigfield - "Saturday night" here for you… No, really, you're most welcome!
