not really
i had to paint my entire flat before i could move in, it was so dark and dingy.
the old owners thought that chocolate brown was a great colour for a hallway with no windows. really great choice there NOT!
the front room had terracotta walls, and a orange ceiling
the bedrooms werent too bad, mostly off whites.. but the hallway and front room required so many coats of paint to go over the dark colours it was unreal. i think the hallway took me 5 coats before the brown stopped showing through.
painting the whole flat used somewhere in the region of 10 litres of paint it was that bad lol
