Just as you have your own color preference and choice, so does others. That's the reason it's very rare for 2 different clients to choose similar colors.
The pink is a family of furcial or sexy pink most favored by women, though this is uniquely different from the regular furcial pink.
The picture catalog it was chosen from also was for that of a room.
When you want to do yours, we could do it your shade of pink for you

Nice. Congratulations Sir.

The slab was later painted tbe same color as the wall paint.
Look at the other picture with the slab painted. Thank you.

My koko friend, I congratulate you in private and public. Like I complain in private, I knew baba take his time on painting to deliver fantastic finished, my concern still remains about those stains on finished doors. When he did my I have to tell him to take his time to tape all those doors before he starts any painting. I don’t no why Nigerian artisans doesn’t pay attention to finishing
One will keep calling to bring their attention to it so sad, many of them needs to be retrained in that aspect. Gbadexy you need to send baba to take refresh course in staining, that will really help both of you in my opinion.
Hajji from today on, I will recommend your name change to BABA KOKO moving forward.

Your advice is noted and appreciated sir.
I've since come to the conclusion that all on site artisans work best under constant supervision. They simply can't help but want to be hurriedly done when left un monitored.
I will endeavor to always inform painters I refer or recommend on the need for a perfectly neat delivery much more henceforth

It is called fuschia, not 'furcial or sexy pink.' Most women often prefer pastel shades for bedroom walls from my experience, even though they don't mind using fuschia pink for their fabrics, and outfits. A bedroom is meant to be restful place, which is why pastel colours and light shades are often chosen for the walls. Such shades of colour do not put a strain on the eyes. Anyway, like you said it is their choice. They would have to live with it.

A client of mine recently chose a dark shade of magenta for his walls. When I advised against it, he insisted. After the project was completed and he wanted to rent the place out, it took a while as several prospective clients were put off by the colour. The client who eventually rented the place, repainted the walls, the minute he moved in.

OK, thanks for the correction. That's the description of the color and pronunciation by painters.
The major thing is to get the message or color the word is meant to convey.
I don't know why you are affected by the color more than the owner, the way you typed "They would have to live with it" as if "They" committed a major sin or crime which "They" would have to face the consequence shows you are believe your opinion must be the correct one.
I couldn't help to notice your eagerness to show you know the correct name for the color.
All irrelevant and inconsequential things to me but indicator to your kind of person and your mindset.
Don't cry more than the bereaved!

No need for sly digs or insults. I am not "affected by the colour more than the owner, neither am I crying more than the bereaved," like you rudely claimed. I saw something that looked odd, so I pointed it out and made a suggestion. Why you decided to get offended, is really unclear.

I never insisted that anyone must accept or adopt my suggestion. So why are you throwing a tantrum here? May I respectfully request that you get off my mentions, until you can muster the courtesy to be polite? Thank you!

I wasn't indirect or sly in expressing my view. The "They would have to live with it" and the used wasn't exactly complimentary and that's what majorly got to me.
Perhaps you may use another approach in passing across your message. If you had used a friendly smiley, it would be assumed by me it was done in a different light and help take away any presumed sting from the post.
Peace!
NB: I had to modify it to try a different approach in communicating with you.

It's counterproductive engaging in unnecessary back and forth also.

I really need to know how difficult it is for painters to use cardboard papers to separate different areas of paint colors that mesh together.
Almost all Nigerian homes I see white paint from the wall flowing to a red door and vice versa.

Is it not possible to hang the doors after paint jobs to avoid smearing of paint on them.
Is common sense so hard to accomplish for our artisans, I mean things that don’t require any artificial intelligence tech.
Are the artisans only interested in fast job and money than quality control.

Bros... You're right on point. I've always pondered on the same. I expected egbon to be so keen on that given his love for precision.

Dont be discouraged by the amount you invested into the project. Just make sure you build it into your satisfaction.
No project is alike and its hard to actually compare cost because of circumstances in each area.
Just keep doing and dont be discouraged, one day you will eventually be finished. Thank you.

That is more reason the cost is not easy to compare, estimate or keep up.
