3) A storm blew a tree down, which landed on a house and poked several large holes in the roof. The subsequent water damage was significant and required new drywall both upstairs and downstairs. Sandy was hired to repaint the downstairs rooms the same colors as beforegrey for the ceiling and rustic orange for the wallsand repaint the upstairs room in the same grey as the downstairs ceilings. The customer described the paint as "the same grey ordered with the rustic orange." The paint arrived, one gallon orange and three gallons grey, but after painting the first ceiling and walls, Sandy noticed the "grey" was more blue than the original grey. Sandy talked to the customer and learned that the customer had actually purchased two grey colors from the same store and the last time they had purchased paint, they had purchased the orange for some touch-ups downstairs and a new, more bluish grey for the upstairs rooms. Sandy had to buy more paint and repaint an entire room.
