Hahahahaha, no chance, N&G.
At the mention of any change my DH would always say "why bother, it's fine as it is".
Could someone tell me what happened to the post ...

DH has no clue whatsoever about colour , he always leaves it to me to make suggestions and he will say which he prefers then we compromise and have the one I wanted all along 
. Seriously though he always says when its done that 'we' made a good choice didn't we.
Our living room is now a lovely colour which is two shades of grey/lilac everyone loves the colour and it goes beautifully with the shaggy black white and grey striped rug and lime cushions. DH picked up a pot of LILAC paint in B & Q that would of had your eyes out on stalks till I showed him the Lilac/grey in the Farrow and Ball colour chart much more muted and easy on the eye.
Its a man thing I think.
Once the decorations come down and the first weeks of January are out of the way I always get the urge to change things. DH has been lucky that I have kept him over the years especially when we're talking about decorating. 
I look at a room and get an idea of colour and can 'see' the room in my mind's eye, but I can explain it to my DH till I'm blue in the face and he just can't 'see' it.
Today we went out for colour charts and some wallpaper samples.
When I'm talking blue, he's thinking green. I thought aqua he picked up silver !! He just doesn't get the subtleties of colour-lilac is not purple beige is not caramel or mocha.
Am I alone here ? Do you all have DH or partners who can be allowed to choose soft furnishings on their own? Would you tell your DH your colour scheme and then let him choose the actual paint without you?
