I think the big problem is that the original formula is hard to match in different brands of paint so some come out tinted different. Some like the green, I like the tan/brown like you. I have had several samples mixed up and none of them were the same, some were way off. Some took a reading with a camera and still were off so the paint man had to fine tune and still did not get it right. It is too bad because that is a really good color combo.
