They are close, but really not right. Close enough that I have actually heard them arguing with customers that the color was right- when it wasn't. I can't believe they were actually arguing about it! I once had them match a red- it was sort of close, but they had obviously used a magenta base instead of the cadmium base it was. Sure it is a dark red, but there are a lot of dark reds and we all know the subtle bits matter a lot! I'm with Wendee- Home Depot does a really bad job of matching colors!

I love how the colors are turning out. (Water 02 in our bedroom might be my favorite.) We have all of the trim work to go, so I appreciate the tape tip.

I was a bit worried about the amount of bubbles the cheap foam rollers created but since these are temporary door measures I decided it would be fine. I don't see any noticeable troubles with the finish on the paint, but if I was painting really important trim I would have freaked out a bit. Jessica - Oh, I feel that pain. Despite my most careful work with a tiny blade a whole section around one of the door knobs came up. Angela - Thank you for the advice.

I painted my son's room with lime green and bright blue so I was looking at the same colors as you were all weekend. And talk about drama, I used the same colors on a wall in my playroom and when I pealed the tape off huge sections of paint pealed off with it. I think everyone was renovating this weekend.

My personal advice is get the slightly more expensive higher density ones and they paint things like cabinet doors and trim like a dream. I have always wondered if those corner tape things work well. Now I have proof. I love those little foam rollers. My personal advice is get the slightly more expensive higher density ones and they paint things like cabinet doors and trim like a dream.

I wish I could convince my hubby to go for bolder colors, but he's a colorphobe. Thanks for posting the link to the Environmental Home Center - you saved me researching where to go to buy paint.

I'm having trouble deciding on which color to paint mine. Miss Sassy - Thank you and you're welcome. Amy - Apparently it's common to paint the exterior front door a dramatic color here in Seattle.

The house was a boring neautral and everything on it blended together. It made all the difference. We need to paint the rest of the doors in our house now. They are showing their age...

It's always very close, with just a hint of the wrong tone that sends it over the edge - of a steep, jagged cliff of wrongness. Loving what you did to your doors. A great spot of color for a long Seattle winter. We've had nothing but grief using the paint matching service at Home Depot.

But it's years away yet. Besides, the green doors are very beat up looking when you get close. Carol - I probably will, it doesn't fit with the style of the interior of the house.
