That is so funny! My sister (who lives 350 miles away) just recently bought a house and painted. For her birthday I made her a table topper, however her dining room is purple and no matter how many pictures she sent me everyone of them appeared blue! I finally drove an hour away to the nearest Home Depot and picked up a paint chip sample of her paint. Everything matched perfectly, but I did have to buy material twice! The first was way off! All worth it in the end!
