| Rustoleum & Krylon both have a small handful of green shades in their spray paint -- do you have any suggestion for which is the closest to the green of a bluebonnet leaf?
I'm certain my go-to "leaf green" Krylon is too light & yellowey. But when I start looking at the others, my eyes cross. ~ freshair |

| First let me say I am awful at picking paint colors from chips. It never looks like the color I was intending. But..... looking at the Krylon website, and I know the colors may not be true, the Hosta leaf green might work or the Satin Italian Olive. Both might be a little dark, but colors always look a little dark against the white background of a color chart. What type of surface are you painting? Could you use a brush on? Probably more choices in those type paints.... |
