Hello,

I'm trying to find a way to make my walls a darker version of wedgewood but I don't know how. I'm really new to painting and home design - we have a fixer uppper from 1890s. Can you help?

We painted our east facing 12x12 spare room wedgewood gray (matte). The paint chip looked great. I got samples, the walls samples looked great, I even tried a few different walls and I checked them out at different times of day. I thought it was a little light on one wall but all else looked great. So, I painted. Once I painted all walls BM WG, it feels way too "baby blue" or as my husband calls it "stuck inside a robin's next". I do love robin's egg blue but not for the whole room.

We found wedgewood gray when trying to find a calm, relaxing room for the back room. A softer/warmer blue.

It's been this color about 2 weeks now and I've figured out that I really love it in late afternoon/evening and when I look into the corners where it's shaded or the closet when it looks a few shades darker. Then, it is the exact color I'm looking for and I smile every time I see it - but then, morning comes and the sun comes up and everything is too light-robins egg blue again. It stays like this until almost 3:30pm.

Any suggestions on what color to repaint to get that cozy, darker greenish-blue?

I'll post a few pictures (my phone washes out the color, so the pics aren't great). See comments for pics

Thank you in advance. I'm still so new to this. This is the 2nd time I painted the room in a month - the first time we didn't sample, we just painted and I hated the color. Makes sense, it was a green that looked even more yellow in the bright sun. I finally picked WG and thought I did it the right way tesitng multiple sample but mabye I'm asking too much. Either way, I'm finally figuring out the importance of lighting and the position of the room..I justneed some guidance.

thanks in advance!
