Hey, it happens. No need to strip off new paint. It's not a big deal if you're in the "its' just paint" camp.

I actually detest that lil tidbit of *color wisdom* - because it's not just paint. It's effort, time, money and not-just-a-stroll-in-the-park labor.

But in the right context "it's just paint" is not a completely stupid pov.

Like in your case.

The dark green really is just one coat. Don't look at it as a color misstep. Instead, it's an undercoat. One more layer in the process of wickedly proper prep that's all going to add up to a beautiful final finish that will last for years and years.

thanks. I'm talking in the home decorating forum too. I think I am in a panic mode and the color isn't "that" bad. It is just so different from before and I have never ever been able to change or even choose a color.

Yeah, saw that. I think it's gorgeous and perfectly suited to the style. No red door, tho. Just about any other color.

Lavender or yellow would be fun. A bright lime or even orange.

If you just stripped it and are now applying the first coat/color there is no need to worry yourself. Properly done the house can hold more layers than you will put on in your tenure of ownership.
