The day I can’t make a giant mistake because of a sign is the day I learn to read.

As a brand designer (M) I always pick the color.
The one time the missus chose, we had a raspberry pink colored room that she hated when it was done. She kept believing it would lighten up and kept painting. It never did.

Doesn’t matter, she’ll be upset with whatever color is chosen, even if it’s one she chose.

Similar one hanging by the hammers and tools. Women not allowed to buy tools without signed note from their husband.

I think paint colours at the store become hated when they are at home because the lighting is different.
The lightbulbs at the store are bright white, the store itself might have natural light from big windows, but at home the older lightbulbs might be slightly yellow, or the wattage is lower so the light is dimmer, and the window doesn’t face the right way so the natural light hits the paint differently.

Haha, funny, except I mixed paint for 15 years. I would challenge any employee to a ‘mix contest’ and would have the color matched and ready in less than 2 mixes, even if they used a color computer.
I’d win ever time, but they wouldn’t sign up for me to get free paint if I matched.
Funny sign, but stupid.
My wife might pick out the color, but I’d talk her around colors that looked good on a 1×1 paper but would absolutely not match with the lighting and colors around.
Been married over 30 years, and I’m still the color king. She’s great with most, but colors and tinting…not so much.

Any wise husband does not just simply buy paint. He first let’s his wife obsess over the farrow and ball colour wheel to pick the exact white that isn’t actually white and then get the code then go bug a Johnston’s trade knock off for half the price.
Seriously only a newbie husband would think “go buy white paint” actually means go buy white paint! There are like 50whites at least!
Seriously husband’s do not just go buy white paint. You have been warned.

I legit had this exact same sign posted in my color chip section for a month before Mgr took it down.
Had to do a double take to make sure this wasn’t my pic.

Imagine if the sign was the opposite.
What if I don’t have a wife or gf?
