Finally got my paint samples down to just three choices

I used to pick colors by staring at tiny swatches in the store (and ended up repainting my kitchen twice in 2020). Now I buy the little sample pots and paint big squares on different walls to see the light change. It took me a week of looking at them at different times of day, but I'm down to a warm gray, a soft green, and a creamy white. How do you usually make your final choice when you've narrowed it down like this?

Nice! I do something similar but with fabric samples. I'll tape my final three paint squares to a piece of poster board and move it around the room for a full day. The one that still looks good in the weird corner with no natural light usually wins, because that's the true test.

Actually, that weird corner is the last place you'll ever hang out anyway.
