DIY? Maybe we shouldn't

Meggan and I embarked on a fun little painting project tonight. We started painting our downstairs and had only intentions of finishing the foyer this evening. This comes on the heels of weeks of shopping for the perfect color. Well, after many sample purchases and trial and error exercises, we settled on a soft color with tan and gray undertones. However, somehow, on our wall this has turned into gun metal gray. So, we have given up after 2 hours of painting and praying it was going to dry lighter. We have achieved massive failure.
