"Oops Paint"

"Oops Paint" is what the home improvement stores call the paints that were tinted incorrectly and the original purchaser was unhappy with the color. You can generally get a gallon for anywhere from $3-5. Check in the clearance area or ask at the paint counter.

If you have a large room and will need more than one gallon, find the same type of paint and finish in a similar color and mix the two together for a consistent color on the walls.
