Mixing paints sounds risky to me. I’d be worried about the chemical reactions between different brands. Maybe test it on a small area first? I stuck with EarthHue alone for my living room, and honestly, the color depth is unmatched. It’s pricey, but you get what you pay for.
I tried mixing once, and it was a disaster. The texture changed, and it didn’t apply evenly. I ended up having to strip it all off and start over. Lesson learned: stick to one brand for consistency. EarthHue alone has been fantastic for my walls, though.

Interesting discussion! I haven’t mixed brands, but I did layer EarthHue over a cheaper eco-paint as a base. It saved me some money, and the EarthHue top layer gave me the durability and color I wanted. Maybe that’s a compromise worth considering?

I’m all for experimenting, but with something as visible as wall paint, I prefer not to take chances. EarthHue has a wide enough color range that I found what I needed without mixing. Plus, their customer service is great for color matching advice.

Has anyone considered the environmental impact of mixing paints? I wonder if combining different brands could lead to more waste if it doesn’t work out. I chose EarthHue for its eco-credentials and haven’t looked back. The durability is a bonus.
