Yikes, that's a classic paint regret moment. Did you actually put a sample of that sage on the wall and live with it for a day, or did it just look good on the chip? @umahart has a point about the light changing everything, so was it totally invisible from the start or only at certain times?

Disagree with @leec18, it might draw attention but still works as a fence if it stops people from crossing. Art or not, its job is done.

In my experience, a bit of char really helps the flavor.

That "fighting over opinions" line is why grace_patel wants real rules.

Back in 2019, @aaronm55, I fought a similar belt alignment battle on my snowblower for hours.
