Not Mauv-elous!

Back in the '80s, mauve was so popular, and the birth center interior where I was going to have our twins was THE most perfect mauve, and I had to duplicate that in our bedroom.
Even after my husband warned me repeatedly that the color was too dark on the chip and needed to be blended with white, I insisted on what I had selected.
The painters dutifully painted all four walls, and when I finally saw it, I burst into tears!!
It was hideous--imagine a whole room of circus pink, like Bazooka bubble gum. No,... more like Pepto Bismol.
Thank goodness for One-Coat color coverage in basic beige!
