Citron Paint

    Citron sells small sample pots of their paint.  The pots come in matte finish only.  Beware if you are going to use their paint in a silk or pearl finish that the color will be different -- very different.  The Manhattan matte sample is a sophisticated color.  Manhattan on my walls in the silk finish looks like it belongs in a child's room.  After painting 3 walls and waiting for it to cure to see if it would change (it did not), I called Citron.  Their solution was to put furniture in front of it and hang pictures.  "

Comments and Notes:


2008-11-17 Paint 101
All paint colors will vary depending on finish.  Other factors are outside interference from vegetation, orientation of the house (what kind of light your getting), and window coverings.  All of these things will affect the color. Sample paint pots are sold in the most popular color, which is matte.  These samples will give you a good idea of how the color will look in your house.  The sheen (silk, in this case) will give the color a slightly darker appearance, but the color is static since the formula is exactly the same.  Sometimes a color does not look perfect at first, but once you put the furniture and art on the walls, everything pulls together.  Unfortunately, paint is one of the most difficult things to get right.  Sometimes it's helpful to have an expert guide you through the selection of colors because they know how to make everything work together, including the outside influences.  I hope this helps.  It seems to me like you got decent advise." --guest
