To be sulking about the paint!

Disclaimer, I know I am being unreasonable. I just want to vent.

Bought some paint last week from B&Q - got three on their 3 for 2 offer. Two in one colour and a third in another colour. The two in the one colour were spot on - matched exactly the picture on the front of the pot.

Opened the third and it was much more pink than the picture on the front. In fact the picture doesn't show a pink tinge at all!

We've put some on the wall and let is dry. It's still quite pink! It should be an oatmeal.

So anyway, now I'm sulking that we've got to spend more money on even more paint! I'm cross that I didn't wait and but a sample (they didn't have any when I went in). And because money is tight, we need to wait a week before work expenses payments go in - I just wanted to get it done this weekend.

Riddiculous I know. So many more bigger problems. But I just wanted to vent.

Once paint is opened it begins to deteriorate. How can a store sell on paint which has been opened?
