Our painters always did a big piece of wallboard with the paint we were thinking of for each room before they actually put it on the wall. You can either do that or do a (large) test patch somewhere that it won't show....they did that in our bedroom b/c the wall finish/texture was so different than plain wallboard and we were so glad that they did, b/c the original color I chose would have been way too bright! They tested it on a large area in a niche where the TV goes (then painted over it). We also used some of the "River Rock" and Metallic paints (both Ralph Lauren) and they really looked different once they were applied, so it's a good idea to do a test of the whole process (some of them are two steps or more) to see what the finished effect will be! Good luck!
