We inherited a lovely deep, really dark navy door when we moved in. We had the house painted a couple of months ago and thought we'd spruce front door up but try and match colour as far as we could. Then it all went a bit pear shaped. The first blue tester pot from fired earth was perfect but when we got the large can it was a completely different colour - so we returned it and they said they'd investigate but hadn't got any alternatives. I have since had no less than 4 different testers from everyone from Dulux to Sanderson - all look perfect on the colour chart but the colour of the paint bears absolutely no relation - all way too light/ bright.
I'm looking for the deep navy you get in a man's business suit - almost black.
Any suggestions - it's urgent as painter's last day tomorrow and I can't stall any more!
Thanks so much
