I've been scrolling pinterest to find a good color to paint a door and trim in my bathroom and landed on this shade that was part of a color palette post. Not a huge AI fan, but I suck at visualization, so I took some photos of my bathroom and ran it through chatgpt with a screenshot of the color I liked and asked it to put the color on my door and the trim. I felt like it was the right choice and loved the way it looked in the bathroom, so I followed up by asking chatgpt if it could tell me what paint shades were available that could get me closest to the shade in the screenshot, and I happened upon one of AI's many shortcomings. It gave a few shades from different brands that ranged from yellow beige to dusty pink, none of which were even remotely in the family of the warm, grungy, muddy olive tone I was looking for. Next, I implored Google, looking for a website or app that might be able to scan paint shades from across different brands and tell me which my screenshot most resembled. Two seemed promising: My Perfect Color & Hex to Benjamin Moore. My Perfect Color allows users to upload photos, which it then analyzes to provide HEX, HSL, RGB (and a few other acronyms that I didn't bother to research) information for a selected color in the image. I cross checked this using the HEX to Pantone website, which gave me a pretty darn accurate rendering of the color I was searching for. Next came the most harrowing (and ultimately disappointing) step. I crossed my fingers and hoped that the Benjamin Moore repository contained the very specific (though I'd be willing to accept something in the general family of a disgustingly swampy olive green) shade I was looking for. After entering the HEX code, it provided a shade that would better be labeled "utter disappointment" AKA "Wrought Iron." If I was looking for "sad grey" I woulda said that. I ended the day not knowing if Wrought Iron genuinely was the closest shade BM had to the color I was looking for (wrong) or if the tech that the website was using was seriously flawed (sad). I spent the next day searching through the websites of Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams, and Valspar to see if any had a close match listed, though the longer I scrolled, the more the paint colors began to merge into one ominous creature of a color that haunted my nightmares. I feared I was losing my ability to distinguish colors and decided to no longer trust myself with this pursuit. I must mention that I decided to also take a trip to Lowe's, where their vast color wall seemed to shrink before my eyes when I noticed their sorely lacking decaying avocado green section. The paint counter attendant also mentioned that they aren't able to color match from a phone screen (lame). Alas, I come to you all humbly and in earnest: somebody plz tell me what color I gotta buy??????

Decided to make a cover of God is a Woman by Ariana Grande, but with my own spin on it. I tend to lean towards music that feels a little haunted, so the goal was to capture that vibe a bit. Made this on my phone, and it’s the first thing I’ve ever made on GB (though I’ve played around on the app before), so I’d love to optimize as much as possible. Feedback and criticism is very welcome.
Also, I recorded all of the vocals prior to adding any instruments, which I later learned was my first mistake, as it gets tragically pitchy (planning to re-record at some point).
