AMBER

THE WALLS ARE GREEN. No, THAT’S NOT QUITE RIGHT. THE WALLS ARE apple green.
I turn around and hold up two paint swatches. In my left hand, apple
green. In my right, rye green. Ricardo, one of my contractors, shoots me a
nervous grimace as I shake the two swatches in front of his face. I like
Ricardo. He’s good at what he does, efficient, and, most importantly, he
treats me with respect and makes sure his employees do too. We’ve never
had any problems before. Until now.

Because the walls are apple green and the client requested rye.
“Come on, Ric,” I groan. “Tell me what happened here.” We’re 48
hours away from install day, and the last thing I need to see right now are
apple green walls in the master bedroom.
“I’m so sorry, Amber. I’ve got a new apprentice working with me and I
thought he’d be able to handle this room alone.” He runs a hand down his
face and shakes his head. “It’s my fault. I should’ve checked in on him
more often. I take full responsibility.”

I reach for my hair and twist a few strands around my finger. The action
helps to ground me, stops me from entering a never-ending anxiety spiral as
apple green walls close in on me.

“Do you think the client will notice? They do look very similar.”
The laugh that bursts from my lips is borderline hysterical. Yes, the
client is going to notice. I spent a painstaking three hours going back and
forth on the pros and cons of apple versus rye with the client, and they were
adamant about going with the latter.

And the colours don’t look similar. Not at all.
To the untrained eye they might look identical, but there are yellow
undertones in the rye green to help brighten the room, and that’s why we
chose it. The apple green, as beautiful a colour as it is, is too warm for a
room like this and does absolutely nothing for the space.
“It’s okay,” I say. But it’s not. We’re on a tight deadline with this
project, and the client is expecting their dream home to be available to them
in two short days. So yeah. Definitely not okay. “How long will it take to
repaint?”

“I can have it ready by this time tomorrow.”
I chew the inside of my cheek. It’s 3 p.m. Not ideal. “If you can have it
done by 10 a.m. tomorrow, I’ll pretend like this never happened.”
Ricardo’s face is a portrait of relief. I know he relies on the work my
company gives him — we pay well, and the work is relatively steady. “Got
it, boss.”

Thankfully, the other rooms have all been painted correctly. It needs a
good clean, but aside from a few tiny scratches on the hardwood floors in
the living room — which Ricardo assures me will easily be dealt with
before he leaves today — the rest of the house is ready.
