The last thing to consider is what's "in fashion". Fashions change constantly and you will be living with your paint colors a lot longer than when the next fashion change comes in. Start by collecting BM paint chips of colors you are drawn to and go from there. Be sure to make up sample boards of your favorites and put them on your walls to see how these colors affect you in various lighting and how they work together.

I have been doing that. My problem is I have so many paint chips that I can't seem to choose colors. I have been leaning toward Woodstock Tan and Huntington Beige for my living/family rooms (they open to each other). Or else a Tyler Taupe and Lenox Tan. I love Texas Leather but I think it might be too dark. But berkshire beige and Coastal Fog might be too light.

For my center hallway, I was thinking of Wheeling Neutral or Powell Buff. I just don't know if I should be looking at these colors for my living/family room instead of entry way. I have distinct rooms so I can use multiple colors. I want everything to flow but still have their own feeling. I definitely don't want anything in the yellow tones. I also just spent a lot of money ripping out a full wall brick fireplace and dark paneling. The space seems so much bigger now that it is sheetrocked, I want to keep that feeling.

Any thoughts.

Did you look at stone house or pismo dunes?

I am considering these colors for my foyer area and am using texas leather for my family room. I love it too and if the room has lots of light, I think it looks great.
I actually posted a while back about using TL & got lots of votes of confidence & beautiful pictures too.

GL- looking forward to seeing what you pick.

Look at Bennington gray. Unfortunately, it looks nothing like the chip up on the wall. But it looks great in all types of light. The green undertones really come out in darker spaces.

jamaraz - I just happen to have pictures of Woodstock Tan. In my house it looked brown during the day and a little more green at night.

I never could never tell the difference in Huntington Beige and Yorkshire Tan by looking at the small samples. Here's a picture of Yorkshire Tan in mldao's house.

mldao used Jamesboro Gold in her family room, which is also pretty

My mother just painted her kitchen in Alexandria Beige

I've used Huntington Beige in almost every house. It's a good color and goes with just about anything.

I love the dark colors! Don't fret about what is in style. just use what will match the home and use the type of paint that is going to go on smoothly and in less coats.
