Elyse,

<< the sheetrock work is almost
done and we are going to paint...this is where i need help. what is the best
color/kind/brand to use for this? >>
I recently completed a new "dry darkroom" grapics studio and painted the
walls a neutral gray. I remembered that Jack Kelly Clark suggested a color
mix and found it in the archives (03/25/99). In his post, Clark suggested
PPG Paint interior latex flat pastel base product number 80-110 with B12,
L36, O3 tint per gallon. This was supposed to create a color similar to
Munsell #8.
Unfortunately, the local PPG dealer could not identify the O3 tint and I
wound up going to my trusty Benjamin Moore dealer who created a neutral mid
gray as follows: Regal Wall Satin light tint base with B12 & L36 tints per
gallon. It works for me!
