Why is color so hard?

I think we finally have the paint color!

I have to thank Emilie for coming over and holding my hand as I hemmed and hawed and dithered over the sample palette. I just had to get my head over the idea that I had to pick one color to go with everything and last forever. I needed to be looking for a good neutral as a jumping off point, and I have to be resigned to the fact that I will be painting again and again in this life... or finding a way to barter with someone. I'd be willing to swap knitting or sewing services for someone who wanted to paint for me. Or is willing to be paid with cookies, I make very good chocolate chip cookies.
