Not really.. it will look the same shade.. but dark colour really absorb light overall throughout the wall/room so its not really recommended to go too dark.

Choose paint 2 months after paint 2nd day you won’t give a Damn d😹

hahaha.. XD

ok thanks man, so i bought the paint and i painted it.. its nothing like the colour that i want.. oh no...

Still need some time to dry out then only true colour appear. Paint is complex..some colour need a lot of dense pigment so need to stir kau kau as well. U go art shop and pick up those tubes, sold at same volume but some colours are heavier than others

wish there is this sample, easier for us.. =(

Oh you go from card sample.. I am just a wannabe ID.. I just see from colour chart online
Looks quite accurate for me.. but also depend on lighting. It looks more accurate with daylight (sunlight) and a bit darker at night with LED lamp.

That's another subject with CRI index (more atas LED lights have better CRI).
