Husband and friend are TA for blaming and messing up.
“NTA I am a painter and decorator by trade and I wouldn’t dream of blaming the client for me painting a different colour on the wrong walls, let alone ask them to pay MORE. This is literally part of the job, what if you had a feature wall with a different colour and he mixed it up and cut in with that? Lots of people have a slightly darker shade of the same ‘family’ of colours as feature walls. May just be difference in painting style but you shouldn’t cut in after either, you roll over in order to remove and hide brush marks, some painters even use a small roller (usually referred to as a rad roller) to remove as much as possible.”
