Biscotti is usually a toasted color, sort of a goldish brown. If you leave
it too long it will get moldy and turn green. If your paint is green check
to see if it tastes either like pistachio or mold. If the first, continue to
apply. If the second, get a new batch.

I put up the first coat last night. "Baked Biscotti" turned out to be
a warm gray. Whodathunkit?

Thanks again...

selection? ;->

:I am in the process of painting a room in my house that has somewhat
:dark paneling. I have primed the whole room and then went back with a
:brush and carefully went down each groove to make sure there I didn't
:miss any spots. Well, the areas I re-painted with the brush look nice
:and white, but the areas between the groove (where I just used a
:roller) isn't as white. It's all covered, of course, but you can still
:see some darkness coming through the primer. Do you think this will be
:noticeable when I start painting it with a good latex paint? The new
:color is "baked biscotti" (you gotta love the names they give paint
:these days) and it's a kind of green (I think).

:I hate the thought of having to put another coat of primer on this, but
:I want to do it right the first time. Thanks for any input...

I'm wondering why you are painting paneling in the first place. I had a
LOT of paneling in my house and instead of painting it I decided to
remove it and paint the walls that were underneath it. Most of it is
removed now, but there's still a bit more.
