Hi [USER=145657]@jazz0001[/USER]


There are many ways to change the color of the wall, as shown in prior posts.


I just wanted to point out the fundamental error in your approach (and the fix) when using the Match Color command.   I have drawn a screenshot below and put arrows at the essential points.


First, you cannot just use the eyedropper tool.  You need to make a selection around the sample color you want to match in Layer 4. 


Setting the correct checkboxes is also essential.

- You want to check ignore Selection when applying Adjustment (because you want the Adjustment to be made over the whole image as only defined by the location of pixels

- Do check the box to Use Selection in Source to Calculate Colors - that picks the selected color with which to match color

- You want to uncheck the Selection in Target to Calculate Adjustment, where I assume you want to ignore the original color


The screenshot below shows the result when I selected a darker gray color in your palette.

Hope this helps

John Wheeler
