"When I see the edges of the walls being a different colour from the middle of the wall..."

A Full NVC Expression - Formal Language
Observation:When I see the edges of the walls being a different colour from the middle of the wall
Feelings: I feel surprised and concerned
Needs: because I need beauty and order.
Connection Request: Would you be willing to tell me what you're hearing me say?

Another Possible Natural Language Way of Expressing This:
When I look at these walls, I feel concerned
because I'd like the whole wall to be the same colour,
and it seems to me that the middle of each wall doesn't match the edges.
