So my Plan was to paint most of my downstairs in a pale yellow (Crown's Pale Gold is nice) and then have the fireplace wall in dark reddish purple with the chimneybreast in a medium shade.

Mulberry Burst is lovely, but I don't want the whole wall that colour, or just the chimney, or just the bits either side of the chimney. There aren't any medium purples that don't turn out pink. Pale purples just look rubbish.

On the other hand, Proud Peacock and Teal Tension go with each other and are gorgeous. I need a room painted with them. But what about the blinds (olive green woodstain) and my sofa (dark blue & gold)?

Gah!

maybe you need to try this to help you pick colours, I managed 108, not sure how bad that is

That's fun!

I got 4 - but the area I wasn't very good is right in the middle of the turquoises. Perhaps the peacock & teal don't go together after all...

Wow. I got 64. Still, I'm above average for my age group.

Cor, you are good! I got 11.

I found my blue telling-apart skills got better when I was doing a lot of jigsaws with sky in :)

Argh, I had to do one of those during my eye exam for the driving test. Very strangely, I managed to get them in the right order with only one break in between, i.e. up along the shade to a certain point and then down again in the wrong direction. This was a set of little pots in a rack, not on a computer, obviously.
