Well, I might have been but I scratched it and that scratch is going to bother me... for sure. If you remember, the doable was just my substrate of choice for my floating screen. It is thick but not too heavy. My plan was that I would most likely paint it.

Doable does seem to be a little better at rejecting ambient light than my 1:1:1 MMud wall. That said, I'm not sure I love it. I still need to figure out if I like going grey or not.

Why do you think I ask so many questions here, anyway?
I hate to mention this in the BW thread, but why not try the Cream&Sugar#3 mix (assuming you have a True Value hardware and Michael's nearby). It's neutral and is the smallest tad lighter than Winter Mist (meaning it's a VERY light gray), plus it does have some gain from the metallic silver in it. You would only have a financial outlay of about $14 in paint, and if you later want better ambient performance I think you could paint directly over the C&S with BW. If nothing else, it would hide that scratch.
