It seems like a duh. I know about monitor displays showing slight variations in the colors. This is why I chose my four colors and then checked them on my monitor at work (different display) and then again on husband's laptop (different computer than my home laptop). Three different monitors showed three slight variations in color. From here, I picked my poisons.
Here were my choices:
1)
Green Energy |
What Green Energy really looks like:

Athenian Green |
What Athenian Green actually looks like:
Athens Fail.
3)
Geranium Leaf |
Really???
I was going for a longshot blue-green because of the aforementioned Texas Leather (from the last post), so I chose Cactus Garden. Witness the Behr color:
4)
Shockingly, this was the only one that actually resembled the original color I wanted - Olive.
It's still a colormatch-fail though:

What's the verdict? Is it a fail on my monitor display's part, on Behr's part (for mixing wrong), or am I just jumping the gun because the color will actually magically turn into the color it's supposed to turn when I paint with it?
