they're saying it will be tough.

This paint color was chosen about seven years ago and I can't believe it's wiped from their database. There are two other silver-sages on the paint chip, so I'm going to ask for those formulas and try to deduce what needs to be added. I'm thinking black and/or blue or something to make the color a little deeper. I usually write down formulas, but of course, didn't for this one and I need to do a little touch up.

(Deleted the light-switch comment. Duh... was thinking the actual flipper rather than the piece screwed into the wall. That'll work.)
