urbane bronze 75% strength

last month

I had a peel and stick sample of urbane bronze by Sherwin Williams and I liked it so I went ahead and bought the paint. As I started painting, I felt like the color was too dark. I’m thinking of taking it back to have them change the color to 75% strength so it can be slightly lighter. Has anyone ever done this before and happen to have a picture of what it would look like?

Lightening really dark colors isn't a good option. The base is transparent, so adding less colorant makes it more transparent, not whiter or lighter. That only works if the base is white. Adding white will make it muddy. Move up the color card to Porpoise and see if you like that color.
