I feel badly that I was not able to finish mine. It would have been a beautiful place. ( As yours will be also).

Yeah, I thought about tinted primer. Luckily, this is the only dark section I've got in the plans so far. If I do any more in other rooms, I'll certainly consider a tinted primer for those.

For future dark color painting (it's too late for the living room) You can start with a tinted primer - that will help with the number of coats it takes to get a solid dark color.
