By EmailQ: I found a paint color, but the name on the sample doesn’t match what I’m seeing. How could this be the right color?

A: Go by the actual color, not by the name on the label! Paint names can be entertaining, but they often misrepresent the color inside the can. Benjamin Moore’s Metallic Gold is actually brown and not metallic at all. Don’t forget: always test the color on your wall and live with it for at least 24 hours before committing, to see how the color changes with the changing light.
