Henry and Claire cannot agree on a paint color for their new room, so they find a way to use both.
Henry and Claire move into a new house. They want to paint one room. They can not agree on the color.
Henry likes a soft blue color. Claire likes a warm yellow color. They go to the paint shop together.
The shop has many paint cards. Henry holds up a blue card. Claire holds up a yellow card.
"The blue is calm," Henry says. "The yellow is warm and bright," Claire says.
They can not choose one color. They ask the shop worker for help. The worker shows them a green card.
Henry and Claire do not want green. They want their own colors. They look at the cards again.
Claire has an idea. "We can paint one wall blue," she says. "We can paint the other wall yellow."
Henry smiles at the idea. "That is a good plan," he says. They buy both paint cans.
They drive home with the paint cans. They open the cans in the small room. Henry paints the first wall blue.
