    The undertones and finish on the swatch card are completely different to what is on the wall.

    I see a warm pinky peach undertone and a satin matte finish on the card. The wall has a cool blue green undertone and a semi gloss/satin finish.

    A whole wall in the colour and finish on the swatch card will reflect light in a very different way to what the current colour does and have a much nicer ambience for a home.

      The ten of us that can tell the difference might as well be screaming in to the void my similarly photosensitive friend.

      My wife can’t see the difference in the colors of the lights on the Christmas tree, and bought two different brands. There’s not enough of either brand to sufficiently light the tree so I have to get creative with the cooler lights.

      Drives me absolutely NUTS.

        Ooph, that would irk me too. Maybe buy a few more sets of lights from those same brands you already have (or even several yet again different brands), and try to wind them around the tree in a way that makes the mismatching look intentional?

          I put the cooler ones on the inside, warmer ones on the outside. Harder to tell. I end up only using a few strands of the annoyingly cool lights and it makes the tree look brighter without being able to see the dramatic difference in color.
