Color matching paint?
Ok..I've got a light mint green paint for bedroom walls, the color is too bright for the room (almost flourescent) and I want to add color to it to make it a celery green. What color do I add to it?? I don't want to buy a whole gallon, but fix what I have if possible. Do I stay in the green family and add some brown color to it? Thanks for any input!

Take it to the paint store (or where ever you bought it from) and ask them to fix it. They will (and at no charge). However, you may want to take something with you that IS the color you want, so they can match to it (and it can be anything..a shirt, a picture, a blade of grass..anything!). Were you to tint the paint yourself, you will NEVER be able to duplicate it for touch-ups, or re-painting later or for extra gallons should you need more... Best leave something like this up to the experts. You may end up mixing one paint type to another that will not mix well, and end up with an even bigger mess.
Source(s): 50 years (and counting!) young PS- as an Interior Designer (now ret) I have gone back to the paint store MANY times to have a color lightened or darkened, or made less intense...they do it ALL the time! BUT...be sure they put the new label on the can that DOES have the RIGHT formula that they used, so you can always get more if needed. - RavenwingLv 41 decade ago
what you could do is bring it to home depot or any other paint store and they will make the color for you
