Interior Paint DIY vs Hiring a Pro?

We used Perfect Painting in the past for our entire interior, and had a decent experience as well. Brandon is a nice guy, and his crew was professional.
I was referred to him by a buddy who lives over in Northwood Pointe (he's done a bunch of work in both NWP and NP).
Yeah the pink was VERY pink. The color palette made it look like a soft pink but in reality is VERY super pink. Colors are so difficult to figure out.
Meanwhile Dry Dune was supposed to be a soft tan and ended up being peachy tan.
No wonder color consultants get paid the amount they do!
my apologies - i have no idea how i let that slip through. that indeed was a softball that should have been hit out of the park. it will not happen again! this is how i feel right now.

Dry Dune is a little light for me. From our experience paint usually looks lighter on the wall than on the swatch so we usually choose a darker version of the color we like.
It could backfire and be too dark but you can use lighting to minimize that. If it's too light it doesn't look like you even painted the walls and lighting can't fix that.
But if you do like it light, it usually lightens up as it dries... so maybe light peach?

Everything went very well with Brandon of Sunrise Painting Perfect Painting for us. Not their fault we had trouble picking colors. Brandon was really nice and really flexible with us. His crew consisted of really friendly and professional people. The work is amazing. Very straight lines over the crown moldings and baseboards.
We chose to paint our garage at the last minute and Brandon accommodated our request as well. Overall, we are very happy with the job and would recommend them.

That looks fine... I would prefer a darker tan but I don't think it's very peachy.
That one wall looks very pink though.

You guys could pay me to do it... all I'm going to say is "Go darker".
