So, let's be honest. The oxblood wall you boldly envisioned is starting to look a little too cherry, right? Don't panic. It's actually completely normal to get painter's fatigue or lose confidence halfway through a project — especially when it involves a new wall color. But every paint color storm has its silver lining, and how to fix a paint color mid-refresh is easier than you may think.
Livingetc's color expert, Amy Moorea Wong, says, "new colors over large spaces are visually and physically overwhelming (especially once they go past head-height)." Perhaps you began a paint job in the evening, and now the morning sun is casting a different light on it, or maybe the color just isn't sitting exactly as you had pictured. Learning how to paint a room is an art, and it's perfectly fine if the first attempt doesn't go quite as planned.
