Thanks everyone! First off, my neighbor is enlisting me to paint the fishies on her daughter's walls soon... so they won't be lost forever!

As for the oops paint, the best time to go is right after they have demonstrations or a big sale. A lot of their oops paint is the stuff they used for demonstrations or returns after a sale.

I shopped for a few months for her paint... they don't always have the right colors, so whenever I'm at Home Depot I take a look. As for the colors, don't be afraid to mix! The light teal was actually a BRIGHT green that was tempered by mixing it with a blue and a whitish grey.


Nomilyn... good luck with your move and happy "oops paint" hunting!
