Color, shadow, color and environmental impacts are considered some of the things to paint during the purchasing process. After the color that you need to determine the chosen glory. Need to paint with gloss? If so, how much? Unfortunately, a standardized brightness and color is not the expression varies from manufacturer to paint manufacturers.
