I purchased a can of brown (satin finish) latex paint for the trim on my master bedroom ceiling. After mixing and shaking the paint, the paint store salesman opened the can and applied a small dot of paint to a label on the lid. The idea is to help me identify the color within the can. The dot is really not necessary for me – within a few minutes of opening the can, I typically have paint all over the outside.
Probably, I should not be allowed to use brown
paint in a world of white walls and lightly-colored floors. While I am pretty
good at masking off and covering things around my intended painting 'target,' I
am often a bit sloppy beyond that. Today, I am posting a photograph of the pale
brown dot followed by a photograph of the can after a few minutes of my
painting.
Let’s just say it’s pretty obvious what color of
paint is in the can.
