Dear Joan,

If you can mail me some swatches of your color(s) on some 3 x 5 card, or whatever works, I can scan them too for comparative purposes to what I have posted above. I can email you my address. It will be interesting and informative to compare your GN-25 color with my sample. If you send me a sample, apply two coats of paint to hide the support completely.

Actually anyone is welcome to send me original samples to analyze and compare of any color. It doesn't have to be green-gray.

To explain your mixture having too much yellow, I wonder if the formula margin of error varies slightly between a quart and a gallon? The salesman told me he could not accurately match a quart to a gallon formula, so I opted for the gallon, which fortunately looks about right.

Good luck!

Garth
