You should have known she wouldn't let you leave it with some crappy primer in it.

I know.

Well here's the rest of the story. Ran over to Sherwin Williams to get my P&G. Made the mistake of thinking that they would just "have" the LSU colors waiting for me. I pulled this website up on my phone:

https://www.lsu.edu/pa/identity/colors.shtml

And they said that didn't mean a thing to them. So they made a couple of phone calls to some Baton Rouge stores and came back with this:

They said everyone goes with this purple (Izmir purple):

And she said people choose from a couple of different golds, depending on how "gold" or "yellow" you want it. I ended up picking "citrus":

The purple shows up funky on my computer but looks much better in the store. I always liked more a bright yellow gold. And then they couldn't make just a quart of the yellow for some reason, so there will be a lot more yellow around the house soon.
