Okay...here you go. This is for Aura Eggshell, 1 gallon of Base 1. It was matched to the actual Martha card from K-Mart. S1 0x 24.00 Y2 0x 22.00 S2 2x 30.00 B1 0x 1.00 G1 0x 8.00 Beware using the formulas in the BM computers. They are close but not quite. I had them mix another Martha color (Meadow Way) and the computer version has to be tweaked several times. It was too light and bright. IMO, the toned-down nature of the MS colos is what makes them great. Good luck!

rhome410 - yes, it amazes me that I can take anything to a paint store and they can supposedly match it! I've never done it before so don't know how accurate the results are, but we'll see! kpaquette - glad your experience with creating colors was good! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't regret it! Kat - well, I'm trying for a medium slightly smokey gray-blue since I normally am not a fan of blue walls. I'm trying to coordinate with a stupid rug that I plan to use in the living room, so not even sure I'll end up with a color I'll like! I'm wondering now if I can manage to get enough of a piece of the rug to take and have them match at the paint store - it would be really funny to lug an 8 x 10 rug into the store - haha! Anyway, there's no way I'd ever be able to replicate the color I've concocted, so I'm glad they can! I think I started with SW Cityscape as a base (it's a dark gray-blue), then added some Meditative and Sleepy Blue and I think a bit of Passive. Now that I look at the names all together it's hilarious - the room should put us right to sleep!! Oh, thanks, I am finally feeling much better - Sat I felt about 50% better - just enough to deal with paint, and yesterday I was almost back to normal. That is so true - I've been thinking that it's surprising that we aren't sick all the time with all the dust and fumes that go along with remodeling! mairin - I love that BM Adagio!!! The only problem is that I think it might be too close to the paint in the dining room/kitchen - darn!! That's been the biggest issue since I really like the paint in there and it's a light gray. So I've tried to find something that's more a med color and that's much more blue so that it doesn't look the same at first glance. I'm beginning to think it's impossible because I don't like pastel blues or really bright blues in living rooms. Honestly, if it weren't for my husband, I'd use the same paint color that I like in all 3 rooms! :) Here's a photo of the paint in the kitchen where you can see the very edge of the dining room at the left (which is right by the living room) - do you think this color (it's SW Argos in the kitchen and a combination of Argos and Passive in the dining room) and Adagio look too much alike? dawn8b - I will most definitely be using a color consultant if I ever need to do any painting of this magnitude again :) tudorlover - I wish I could just paint the house in one or two colors I love! My husband insists that we need more colors, so I'm trying to come up with a different one for practically every room. And while I love gray, he doesn't (or thinks he won't until he sees it!), so I'm trying to disguise the fact that I'm looking for paints with gray tones :) As long as it doesn't have the word "gray" in it I'm OK - haha!

I decided to google it, and I found this from Ttodd: That is the old line from Sears & K-mart. It is not a part of the Lowes line. Here is the formula for Mercury Glass (love this color!). I used it in a HW in an old house that DH & I lived in pre-digital camera. I wanted to try it recently in current home & had Sears Hardware mix a qt. for me even though it was discontinued (our Sears has a super paint guy that remembers me from always getting MS paint) In my upstairs HW that is very light filled it is almost imperceptible and in the downstairs part of the HW it is very dark. Upstairs swatch reads blue, downstairs more purple. I still want to find a place for it somewhere. Here's the qt. formulation as handwritten on the can (no clue if it will help): 8946 - 0.03 8943 - 0.005 Base - 97864 Looking at the color swatch on the can in the office here it is very grey. One of the things that I enjoyed so much w/ this color was how chameleon like it was. Here is a link that might be useful: here's the thread it's from

Very soft and elegant! Whats up with paint not being the same color as the sample boards, the color swatch, etc? There is NO way to compare via the different monitors, phones and tablets. Just not possible and some colors are worse than others. I painted my master bedroom a shade of purple. The same brand and color of paint mixed at two different stores were two different colors. And it looks like 6 different colors at any time of the day depending on which wall you're looking at. Your finished wall doesn't look like any of the sample boards you posted :o It's pretty tho! :) I just don't "get" paint. I guess that's why we're not friends <g>
