The paint looks considerably more yellow before it dries. I suppose you compared it dried by a hair drier though.

If you notice the first formula in this post, it's not a Benjamin Moore store so maybe they didn't have the true formulas. And we thought it was more green/yellow because there is a lot of orange in the formula.

You might have a point here. We will have to ask Bill if his paint dealer has exactly the same pigment colorants as Benjamin Moore. I guess I'll have to order a sample from Bill. I did get my paint at a Benjamin Moore dealer.
If one went to another place like a Home Depot and ordered a different brand of paint, in all likelihood the paint base would lhave a different degree of opacity or white added, so even if the colorants were the same formula, the tint or color may differ.

Did you get a gallon of the formula since Bill posted it yesterday? You're quick too. And, yes, it would be interesting to compare the colors.
thanks,

Joan, I got mine a while ago. Michael Georges also posted the formula here a year or more ago, where I learned of it.
Anyway, I can still scan samples on the L.a.b. scale and post comparative numbers side by side with Photoshop generated color swatches to post here. These will not give any insight into the paint store formulas, but just compare apples to apples on the Forum.
I will email my snail-mailing address.
