Is it cheaper? I feel like whenever I get paint, I pay for the can, which is then mixed with any color I want. I wanted to buy it once without color added, and they told me it won't look right. I still had to pick a white from a card anyway.

Having worked with realtors, they tell me that reality realty shows have pushed the off-white look so hard that people have an instinctive aversion to any color that is not off-white.

I personally wish my rental wasn't all white, I would paint it some form of gray if I could. I have longish black hair and so does my cat. If I go a couple days without sweeping it looks like a poorly kept barber shop in here.
