If you're crafty and have an eye for color - or have ever done sponge painting - you can do a respectable job. I have a career in mixing printing inks and computer color matching... so this is second nature for me. But anyone can do it - trial and error.

Not sure if you recognize sponging, but it looks like a base color with various colors of "paint blotches" randomly applied over it. You may be able to find a YouTube tutorial.

Identify the base color by looking closely with a magnifier. Do the same with the overlays of sponging. Go to Walmart or a craft store and buy the closest match in small containers of acrylic paints. The trick is finding the technique which matches your existing wallpaper the closest.

Remember - it's just water based paint... if it doesn't look right, wipe it off with a wet paper towel and try again! You'll eventually get it "close enough".
