Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Jan 01, 2012 10:02 am Hi all Happy New Year. questions for you all. We are having our house painted. FINALLY chosen colours which on the weatherboards look great. When we put the colour on the trim the colour looks nothing like what we have chosen. We found this with quite a few of the colours we were trialing. My husband even painted part of the trim with a white undercoat (the current colour is forrest green) but no difference. Surely there is something we can do so that the colour that is on our boards matches that of the trim? Any suggestions.

I really didn't want to introduce a third colour.
