| I have a few gallons of Aura paint colors that I decided not to use. From my daughter's house I have some that is too dark, and from mine, too light.
For fun I want to mix them together in different proportions to see if I can come up with something I like for a spare bedroom. Unfortunately, I just realized that some of the paint is matte and some is eggshell. Can I mix them? The final sheen on the wall doesn't really matter, I'm just worried about separation or clumping or ??? Anyone mixed different sheens together before? |

| It should be fine as long as you mix it very well. |

| Thanks, I hate to waste it. We used Harmony at my daughter's house, then had it modified with a touch of green to make it less "fleshy" but then felt it was too dark. I bought Battenberg for my living room, but it turned too weird yellow in the late afternoon. Between the two colors, there's probably a nice neutral tan/beige for my back room - which is now a dark battleship blue/gray. I'll mix it with a drill attachment when I get the proportions right. Thanks Paintguy! |
