Paint is Supposed to be Fun.

I am trying to pick my paint colors for the interior of my house. Just when I think I have it all figured out, I tried the color that I was planning to paint the main part of the house on the wall. YIKES! It looks like of pinky gray. Hmmm...not good. Granted I am painting over yellow, so that could be messing it up. So, then I tried painting it on a white wall and it looked yellow. I don't want to paint the whole house and then decide that it looks like it has been chain smoked in for the past 50 years. So...now I am thinking of using the color I had chosen for the bedrooms in the whole house (Gobi Desert). Keep you posted...
