Whew! This week is flying by! Maybe that's a good thing...
Anyway, last weekend was Paint Fest USA 2009 at my house. My neck and hands were killing me by the time we were done painting... I realized I really haven't done much painting (of rooms) and so I was a bit clumsy at first. Oh well. The paint is on the wall!
Though, this leads me to said conundrum... I think the paint color is a bit lighter than I anticipated. Don't get me wrong, it's still pretty and light and all that. I finally dug out the paint swatch or chip or whatever you call it and compared the two last night and it does appear to be just a bit lighter on the wall. The primer even seemed darker to me than the paint does...

So do I add another coat of paint? (I think my hands spontaneously started bleeding when I typed that.) Will that add some depth and color and weight? Please excuse the painters tape in the picture...

How many coats of paint have you already used?
1 primer, 1 paint
Sometimes with paint (usually the darker colors) you have to put on many coats to get the desired color. With our red wall, we put on 4 coats. I'm surprised with the lighter green that you'd need more but it couldn't hurt to add another one if you aren't satisfied with it. It can't get lighter....
Holy smokes that room has come a long way! Woohoo!!! I love the color. I know you said it is a bit lighter, but I like that color a lot. We are getting ready to update our house...crap...where to even begin?! Yikes. I need to watch hg tv or something. What DO you do with a pink tub? I need you back here friend!!
