Not a problem. Glaze over the blue with a white glaze. I'd use a woolie pad to get it softened. If you want to kick it up a level do a layer of white, then a layer of "sea glass green" - a very very soft aqua - then a last layer of white. It should be beautiful! Hope this helps! Tawn Hi Mikki!

I have a beach theme in my bathroom. I painted the small enclosed area with the tub and stool, what I thought was going to be a calm, peaceful light blue, but it turned out way too bright and bold of a color in that tiny room. I used mildew resistant semi-gloss paint. Can you sponge over a semi gloss? The tub, stool, casings and baseboards are all a clean white, and I have a sandy beige beach themed shower curtain. What color should I use for sponging to give it a calm, peaceful look, white or a sandy beige color? Help! I have a beach theme in my bathroom.

How GREAT you're building a home! To tone down your color and get more brown (with orange undertones) I glaze over the walls with a burnt sienna. Burnt sienna is a brown with orange undertones. You may want to first take a chocolate brown, thinned with water and glaze an color wash that over the walls and THEN do the burnt sienna. And either way I'd use a woolie to pat it out and get that Tuscan rubbed on look. ;) Hope this helps! Hi Susan!

What we got was bright yellow with barely discernible orange under tones. The color is hubbard squach from Sherwin Williams which looked great on the website visualizer and on the practice board we painted but is overwhelming in the entire house. How can we tone down the yellow and introduce the brownish orange tones we desire?
