go to the paint department semigloss low fume base grab a green paint sample close to what you like then a goldish sample that might mix with the green to achieve the color you desire add a darker green if it is to yellow like a matted forest that would tone down the yellow but still keep its green ......damn it ...I could sooo help you if I was with you

ya leave the tan wall if it is nice ! save ya some work an YA!!! find the right shade of green they can adjust the color till it is right Im not sure if I like the tan wall though. Its the main wall you see when you walk in. oh ....... but if you leave it tan you could easily accent it with a sponge or trim or something with the color you paint the other walls

I ALWAYS do stuff REAL CHEAP!! theres a zillion inexpensive ways to gussy up a place believe me !! (makes me think maybe I should try marketing a low budget fabulous interior decorating scheme ) leave the tan wall tan paint the other walls green color you like left over green paint to accent the tan wall with some thing cool but easy !! you can even get a tiny bottle of acrylic paint (or two) from a craft or dollar store to accent green details on tan wall

So that would be 2 cans right??? or can I get a paint with primer in???? I want flat paint. I dont want gloss.
