Wander over to Home Decorating the Gallery. (link below) Then click on the thread for favorite Greens and take a look. I think the Saybrook Sage is a lovely color. I don't think any color will still be your favorite when it's time to redecorate in a few years, but greens are certainly timeless. I have several in my home. The Dove White is great for trim. And you might check out Home Decorating discussions to ask for more help. Red Here is a link that might be useful: Home Decoration Forum (Gallery)

Thanks so much, Tibbrix and Jterrilynn. I feel like somehow I've managed to totally hijack Ljane's thread (sorry, Ljane!) while we all sit here in eager anticipation awaiting her Vintage Charm and assorted other splotching. I'm eager to hear how those experiments are going! If history is a guide, you will see 100 posts from me in the future about paint color. Gawds, I am really hoping I can avoid that tiresome bit of board spam...

Calidesign: good point about warmth from wood floors and bedding. Thank you. ljangell44: I actually tried to pick up a paint chip for agreeable gray (for another room) at SW when I was there, they were all out...popular color!! On my to do list to get back there. Interesting, I had never considered gray for the room, but I think it may compliment the yellow and not close in the room...will check it out. Thanks! BlueberryBundtcake: Tired of it and want a change. Funny, I always loved the warmth of it, but now after some renovations over the years all of the stain on various doors and windows do not match and it bugs me. Understood that it will be difficult to change!

White Dove is dingy as all get out. I used it on my walls w/a west window. Horrible! painted over it w/Simply White. much better. white dove is like dirty dishwater. North rooms already get grayish light. compounded it w/a grayish dingy white will make it worse (Alabaster is SW countertpart to White Dove) from Kylie M's blog: If you have a north-facing room that has very little natural light, I would NOT paint it white – any white. Why? Well, colour will not come to life without light, so not only will you be fighting the gray of your limited exposure, you’ll be fighting the gray of the shade created due to the lack of natural light. Cool or true whites can look flat and unwelcoming in a low-light north-facing room. Warm whites can look dingy and chalky. So, what do you do? Seriously, just add a few table and floor lamps and play around with your Kelvins and CRI. Remember, if you have a dark north-facing room and an awesome interior lighting plan then fill ‘yer boots with any white you like. If you don’t, you MIGHT want to look at colours with more colour or chroma. Adding COLOUR to the walls of a dark north-facing room can be a great way to give it personality and prevent it from looking like a room with only primer on the walls. You could try a sample on one wall and see what you think. Alabaster may be a bit more creamier and less gray than White Dove. I just think Simply White is the perfect warmer white w/o being too yellow
