Naturally, the photos do not do any Justice...
maybe you had to be there, when I walked in to see a yucky candy wrapper blue-green on my newly stuccoed walls of La Casetta. I knew... instantaneously... it wasn't The Color I had spent so many Euro's on various paint candidates to find just THE RIGHT SAGE GREEN for Mr. You-know-who.
You can see the difference between the wall as I found it today and The Right Sage Green on the middle panel in the photo below. Sadly, all those colors look off in the photo, with much thanks to the rainy day outside with its waining & wavering light.
I called the painter but, my cellphone conveniently was out of juice, refusing every attempt to be kick-started. I then called our geometra, however, he wasn't available either on his. So, I corralled our builder and he said... Non e' giusto. A man of few words, is our builder. He then left me to gaze at the horror. Finally, while soothing my worried color sense on a piping hot plate of gnocchi & funghi at my favourite local trattoria, our geometra called to tell me that that sickening blue-green was only the primer coat. WHEW!!! Crisis averted. Gads.
