Can someone read paint formulas

2 years ago

last modified: 2 years ago

I need to known if anyone can tell me what the difference is in these two paint colors? They are supposed to be the same, but the Kelly Moore is lighter. How can I lighten up the Sherwin Williams so I can finish my painting and touch up or am I just out of luck?

Thank you ,

Karen

It could be a difference of base paint, SW is different than KM. If you haven't used the SW yet, maybe you could take it in with the KM can and explain that the SW needs to be lightened a bit? I'm not sure if that would work or not.

Thank you... I was thinking of that myself, I just need to find something I have painted that color other than the wall to take in to the store.
