The paint turned to a light lilac blue gray. DH used it anyway as a base coat so not to waste it and it is the best color I could have chosen. Everyone who sees the bedroom color asks me what color are my walls and where did I buy it.
My husband is a house painter. He painted a home of ours from the left over paint. He mixed all the colors together and got a "grey".
It was an old house which added to the charm. It was such a pretty color that people would stop and ask what color it was and where he bought it. He had to have the paint company he dealt most with actually make up the color for them when they requested it.
As for the color of the sewing room: Would not the white be the best color? The wall color might bounce to your fabrics and show them differently.
