happy accident: Benjamin Moore helped adjust TV color

Long story short:

-The Benjamin Moore paint company web site has a feature that lets one choose different combinations of wall colors in picture-room settings.

-we chose some colors that looked good

-went to the store to get the paper color swatches to find out they didn't match what we saw on the computer screen at all

-discovered that our laptop doesn't have easily controllable screen color/tint controls...but remembered that the TV does!

-put the Ben Moore site on the TV, adjusted the settings for it to match the paper color swatches

-Bingo! Now we have a way to see true-world colors on the Ben Moore site and the TV colors look a lot better to boot

Good choice. Ben Moore makes the best paint on the market

Thanks, it's expensive but worth every penny.

My friend's immigrant butcher father used to say with a thick accent: Good meat no cheap. Cheap meat no good.

It applies to everything.

I always go with Benj Moore. Most of the rooms in my house have gone 15 years without repainting. I'd rather do a good prep and use a good paint than have to repaint every few years.
