Hello,

I am trying to change the colors of a house for a client with the result to be in both PDF and hard copy.

Benjamin Moore paint swatches are downloaded in PS - CS-5

Before trying some other colors, I thought I would first try to color the house with the same color already on the house to see if there was a difference. 

I made a sample layer selection on the shingles of the house and desaturated the color retaining a gray with shingle detail.  I did a color overlay using the Benjamin Moore swatch.

The result was the test selection containing the same color already on the house did not even come close to what it should be - on the house or as shown in a sample swatch on the BM website.

Did I do something wrong above?  Do you think I would be best instead of using the downloaded swatch, to use the eyedropper and selecting the color swatch displayed directly on the BM moore website?

Still a newbie so may be way off base.

thanks!
