Hi TERRY, thanks for your review. I'm sorry to hear the color turned out more purple than you expected. Such Melodrama does have a purple undertone that may be more apparent in some lighting. To fix your project, it's best to choose a new color. Also, please keep in mind that if you're applying this paint to a walkway, we recommend using our Porch & Patio Paint for the best results. Customer satisfaction is very important to us, so feel free to reach out to our Customer Care team directly for further assistance. They are always happy to help. Enjoy the rest of your day. -Christina
