We are on the brink of finishing our renovation of our tv/study room which included new drywall, sound insulation, new windows, doors, trim, paint and so forth. I picked a colour for the carpet off a sample board. Turns out the board was faded and dirty but didn't find that out until the new carpet was installed. It has a lot of yellow pigment in it that was not in the sample. I hate to have to rip it out but I know it will bug me every time I go into that room. I wanted a very neutral colour which would go with the paint that I had chosen (using colour chips and purchased samples). The manufacturer and stainmaster both have warranties which allow for a one-time exchange, however, I would have to pay for the installation, and I despair at the thought of the trim having to be pulled up (would it have to be?) and touch ups and who knows what else will happen. Does anyone else think that the business that had me pick a carpet from a faded and dirty sample board should pay for the installation of a new carpet? The business explains that the difference between the sample and the laid carpet is within industry standards for the dial-up (?). I'm not sure if "dirt" is a colour. Oh, I also paid a fortune for it. It's very, very soft.
