Sorry to bump this up, but my head is doing the "Exorcist" thing and spinning after reading this...

I have to call in my paint colors this evening and thought this would be easy. He uses MAB paints - which is my first problem. My second is trying to remember Scottsdale, Linda's and Chris' studio walls.

My biggest problem is since my studio opens off the main house it will need to work with my other walls, and was hoping just to step them x 4 to a lighter value.

I am sure this will show a whole lot of nothing, but I shot this in color corrected light (98 CRI) shown is my Grey Card (older and should be replaced, but I have never really figured it out) and a value scale with color aid chips - but then I am sure I messed it up in Photoshop.

The 3rd from the lightest is what I want for the house walls and then just go up 4 steps, which works out to be a number 6 value, which might not be dark enough.

I was just hoping someone could get an idea from this paint sample if the color looked even close?

[I]Side note; Mike or anyone who might be reading this, is it better too shot your artwork with a smaller - 13 - or a larger - 5.6 - apperature (?) setting?
