I used Blonde in a west facing room and it looked more orange than I was expecting and I didn't really like it. I have seen photos of it and I did like it, but the lighting may have been different. If you're not in a hurry, you might want to get a Color To Go sample, paint it on a foam board and see how it looks in the room at different times of day. If you like green, you might consider neutral gray greens. A few suggestions: SW Grassland, Comfort Gray, or Austere Gray. They all look great with warm woods and you can accent them with a lot of different colors - navy blue, burgundy, gold, dark green, beige or even bright colors like turquoise or orange. Comfort Gray is my all time favorite. If you try the Blonde and it seems too goldish/orange for you, check out SW Ivoire (on the same strip as Blonde, but lighter and less gold) or SW Believable Buff or Whole Wheat. Good luck.

I tried to look at both, they are similar except I find the plume more orangey. colors on monitors vary so much; if you google either paint color name, it pulls up discussions on both from this forum. http://www.buyaurapaint.com/sw-6127.html the above link shows a sample of ivoire, they say pittsfield bluff is a close match; I seem to remember some people here having used this color. Here is a link that might be useful: feather plume

I just remodeled my kitchen and installed New Venetian Gold countertops. I chose a Martha Stewart Signature color from Sherwin Williams called Shortbread, which is neutral. I have had many compliments on the paint choice, as it allows the granite and other elements to be the focal point. For trim I chose Navajo White (Sherwin Williams) which blends beautifully.

What about both soft green (sage) and pink on the walls--one upper, one lower and meeting together in the middle in a "harlequin" pattern? I don't know if that's the right term or not. I saw the cutest little girl's room using sage green and lavendar done like that and I wanted to replicate it even without having any children, it was that cute. The best I could describe it would be..... let's say pink on top, green on bottom. Instead of the 2 colors meeting in a straight line in the middle of the wall, the lower color looked like the top of a picket fence (^^^^^^^....) and the top color coming down the same way. Anyway, I thought it was cute, and those 2 colors would be similar and a great way to use both colors without one being too overwhelmingly dominant in the room.
