I'm thinking about painting one wall of a room in Cream&Sugar, Scorpio, or Black Widow. The room has two other colors (a greenish yellow and dark green) and I need to see how these grays will look with the walls.
Where can I get paint chips that match these colors? Ideally I could just go to Lowes, Home Depot or another paint store and pick up standard color chips that are very close to N7, N8 and N9 grays of these colors. It doesn't have to be exact, but the closer the better. I want to get an idea what these look like before buying the materials to mix them, and I don't think a picture on my computer is sufficient.
This is a room that will always have ambient light during the day. I don't have a projector yet but I figure I'll get one that that can handle the ambient light. Right now I'm borrowing a friend's HC5500 and projecting it on the greenish yellow wall; it looks surprisingly good at night, but not so good during the day). The main decision on which of the paints I decide to use will be which one (if any) matches best. I realize the image probably won't look as good as it could, but tradeoffs have to be made.
Painting only a portion of the wall or making a screen and painting that isn't an option, it needs to look like a normal room without a screen. With the whole wall painted, I can project anywhere on it. The other option is a manual screen that I install upside down. I can hide the main part of the screen behind furniture and pull it up when needed.
