Shaking my head, I sometimes let customers be "art directors" on their boards. For this board we opened a bunch of colors, picked a few, and let fly.
Hmm, we did it again: Mud. Not quite what we had in mind. 
But wait, upon further review (i.e., nice pinlines and a gloss and polish finish), the subtleties in the color glow and pop. Another phoenix rises from the ashes.
