Farmhouse whole house paint and trim color ?
Comments (3)Don't worry about trying to match the paint to a photo. It truly isn't relevant to your house, which will have different lighting conditions, etc. Add to that monitor differences plus this photo looks totally overexposed and somewhat pinkish to me. Whites are the toughest! I ended up with a "leftover 150.00 worth of paint because I changed my mind to something imperceptibly different to most people, so I know how hard it is. Get samples or the giant paint chips and hold them up to the walls after the primer is on if you can. They may look totally different on different walls. I have one wall where the color looks incredibly different from top to bottom, even. Good luck! (And take your time if you can. I must have had paint chips of 100 off-whites that looked good in the store. Some were immediately too pink or too yellow when I took them to the house.)...See MoreHelp with one paint color for whole house!
Comments (40)We have Gossamer Veil as our whole house color. I love it much more in our sun filled south/ south west sunny areas vs our shady north/northeast areas of the home. I don't see any green tones, but it can flash into purple undertones (doesn't look purple, just undertones). We've had it a year and no color is perfect 100% of the time everywhere. If I had to do it again, I'd try Edgecomb Grey just to see if I like it better. But, there is no real regret on our Gossamer Veil. It's a good neutral whole house color....See MoreIf you painted your whole interior one color....
Comments (12)You’ve gotten good suggestions on colors so I won’t add. But I will say I made a huge error by painting most rooms a different color of beige/greige b/c of lighting, mood I wanted for the room, etc. I kept paint swatches, paint formulas but life got in the way and when I really needed to refer to swatches, photos, etc, they were nowhere to be found or formulas had been changed. It was a nightmare to re-organize paints and match colors. I swore I’d use only ONE neutral from here on. I have a red room and that’s no problem but those danged neutrals were a mess. Do stick to one color or maybe to no more than 3. Each “similar” color you add exponentially complicates future confusion....See MoreAgonizing over accent wall color- paint the whole room color? Ah!

Comments (17)@Beverly Thanks for much! And everyone for commenting! I was thinking of these colored sheets, then contrasted with the green walls; Then staggered shelves above the bed, with on them plants, maybe pops of yellow flowers, and a nice piece of art. I really love the Green/Caramel/Yellow combos.. feels rustic and earthy. One issue is though, that back wall is quite large and I not find a headboard that doesn't make it feel like its being consumed by the wall I was thinking of these Vant panels, in "rust" however that would clash with the color bedding, I think....See Morejterrilynn
