So after 23-5⁄12 years in this house it's no surprise we have a bunch of partial cans of paint in the basement. I was looking this morning to touch up a few things (and looking ahead to a patch job that I need to deal with in our bedroom) and the first white I tried doesn't match what's in the kitchen ceiling. I looked back in the blog and while I made sure to note the color on the walls, I did a poor job of recording what's on the trim and ceiling.
I spent some time going through them all, finding a few that need to go to hazardous waste disposal and trying to figure out where the others have been used. It's a mix of Behr, Benjamin Moore, Sherman-Williams, and Glidden paints. I think the Glidden ones may be from before we bought the house ...
A few have varying degrees of helpful notes written on the lid, but others are a total crap shoot. I can say for sure that our bedroom is Behr Silverware (#3B45-2) in a Ultra Pure White interior eggshell base; Q's room is Benjamin Moore Blue Orchid (#2096-50) in Ultra Spec 500 interior flat base; the upstairs bathroom is Ralph Lauren Seven Seas (#SS38) in a neutral tinting base (#RL 1393); and the basement bathroom and hall are Behr Lunar Surface (#N460-3) in an interior eggshell enamel medium base. The kitchen is Benjamin Moore Wales Gray (#1585) in an eggshell finish base, and I think the living room is Benjamin Moore Offshore Mist (#PPU13-16) in a Premium Plus Flat White base.
For outside, we just used Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior Semi-Gloss, white, on the porch, and the retaining wall was painted with Sherwin-Williams Rock Garden (#6195) in an exterior acrylic latex Ultradeep base.
That leaves a Benjamin Moore #N539-01 Ultra Spec 500 Interior Semi Gloss that's marked as "Trim Living Room Hall & Stairs", a Benjamin Moore Premium Semi-Gloss Interior marked "Dec o/White", and a few cans of Benjamin Moore Intense White (#OC-51) that says "Hall & Stairs" ... I'm guessing that last one might be the ceilings, so I'll have to try a discrete spot to see how it looks.
UPDATE: Yeah, OC-51 is not the ceiling...
