    I would say to run, but you’re already married. I get myself out of painting by continuously - and I have to do it all the time because I also run a nonprofit where people are always insane about paint colors - I just say color isn’t my thing, I delegate color selection to one person (I’d suggest OPs wife) and I don’t get involved or help. If someone doesn’t like a color, they know who to talk to. And even if they want help I just remind them I don’t care about color and to ask someone who cares to help.

    I actually do care, but I disagree with everyone around me so this is just a way of picking my battles. I have chosen not to care about color only because it saves me time and energy.

      Big same. “Yeah I’m colorblind so you don’t really want my opinion on this” when they’re debating shades of purple, and they never have to know I just can’t see green on top of red.
