The way a color looks on a chip is not the way it will look on or in your house. If you think you like the color, buy a quart of it, put up a 5 x 5-foot swatch on the wall, and look at it for a few days at different times of day. Reflections from the outside, amount and saturation of natural light and reflections from the flooring will change how the color looks. This is a MUST DO.
