Painting

So I bought a can of paint....turns out the "beige" turned out to be lemony yellow. Why did I get a GALLON???
(you can see the color on the walls.)
So, back to the store I went, and got what I thought was a warm khaky color....turned out to be sort of a dark brown/army green. NOT the look I was going for.... why again did I buy a gallon!!!
I wasn't sure I wanted to waste more money on paint, and then I realized that this would be the easiest paint job ever, without any cabinets, I wouldn't have to do any taping. And I realized that I would never be completely satisfied with the color.
so back to the store I went. I got a lighter shade of cocoa, it's actually called Cookie Crumb, and I think it looks nice( I don't have photos yet).
