Chocolate Paint

 

After eight years in our current home we decided to sell. Our touch up paint from the original can was too light because one area behind a mirror had not faded. “Perfectly normal”, they said at Sherman-Williams. So I bought new paint and it still did not match when dry.

I went back and they added a tad of black pigment to the paint, and it was close, but close does not count when painting. In frustration, I looked around the house for something to add a little more brown to the paint and came up with a perfect choice. Cocoa powder. I used a little at a time and it took of stirring to make it smooth. It blended perfectly and smells like brownies while you’re working!
