Hodaya smiled and replied, “Well, my husband and I have recently bought a house, and we are doing some things to, well, make it our own. We’re painting our bedroom and our office first, since the colors the previous owner painted it were meh,” She then showed the man the Dipped in Violet paint chip, “This is what we’re painting our office. It’s currently a greige color that I think is kind of ugly.” She shuffled the paint chip to the back of the small stack in her hands and looked again at the three shades of grey she picked out. “Now that you’re saying it, I think I like Somerset the most. Storm Cloud might be a little too dark of a grey for a bedroom, and just make it feel smaller. Plus, I want a color that goes well with any duvet set that we have.”
“Ah! Well, congratulations. I’m not actually allowed to paint my apartment walls, so they get to stay off-white. We can at least hang things on them. But that’s super exciting,” Ashley smiled brightly, shifting his weight to better balance the objects in his hands. “Oh, that’s pretty. And greige has never done anything for anyone. I mean, I’m all color myself. On walls, I mean. Not on me except by accident.” He said this, looking down at the rather gloomy paint-stained t-shirt and jeans he was wearing. Still, he offered a smile. “I agree. I mean, dark might help you sleep at night, but it’ll be rough getting up in the morning. I had this old roommate with black-out curtains, and it was sort of, like...30 Days of Night or something, you know?”
