Someone said to go to Lowes to get the Milano Blue paint so I went over the weekend and me and the salesman had a hard time locating it. Those of you that have it, where did you get it? I am still undecided if I should even go with the Milano Blue or use Black or a darker shade of what I am going to use for the side walls on the ceiling.

I got mine from benjamin moore, it wasnt called Milano blue, but I used Dennis mixing instructions on that other thread, and had no problems getting it,

mastiff,

Is that the Benjamin Moore paint you used for your side walls? That looks nice! I was inquiring about putting Milano Blue on the ceiling but I like how that shade of blue looks on your walls! Is your ceiling painted yet or no?

Yes, it's all benjamin moore, I like there quality a lot, its expensive, but I find its the best for me. As for the color I can get the card from home if you like. I ended up going with the blue walls and a dark gray celing that your seeing and the chair rail is white.

I saved all the mix instructions incase I ever need to touch up etc.

Benjamin Moore and Lowes do NOT have the Milano Blue I created (by accident). There are several posts (search for 'em), where the mix instructions have been posted. I'm sure either could mix the color from a sample or from the formula.

Yea I saw some of those posts but what I also found is when people went to the paint store, those paint codes listed in these threads didn't match up to whatever the store had in their database according to a few posts I read on here. They had to end up choosing a shade of blue on their own or trying to get the store to get it as close to the Milano blue as they could.

Lowe's may have changed their equipment; but, the mix posted are the numbers Lowe's has used to mix the stuff up.
