Dealing with colors

None of my color scheme goes together

Choice of colors is a personal thing and what one person loves another will hate. Strong colors are more difficult to blend together than pastel ones.

Paint changed color half-way through the job

This is caused by failure to stir the paint thoroughly, especially with strong colors and liquid eggshells.

I mixed up my own color but didn't have enough to finish the job and now I can't find mix the same shade again

Always mix more than enough for the job in hand as you would need a computer to get the exact shade again. If you get fairly close with your second mix then do a complete wall or section with it and it probably won't be noticed. Remember that the paint you are mixing will look slightly different when dry.

Wallpaper seems to be different shades.

If all your rolls of wallpaper don't have exactly the same batch code number on them then there may possibly be slight differences of shade as they will have been printed at different times.
