New furniture or does existing work?
Comments (48)That houzz thread was incredibly confusing----i never did see a proposed pillow? ive skimmed through this one and all your fabrics look too much alike. You need some solid color pillows in a vibrant color to liven up that room. Dark orange would be perfect, because you could use orange pillows with almost any other fabric your posted. Monotone schemes in light colors sometimes work. Monotone schemes in darker colors never work. Your furniture placement is good and you have nice, comfortable pieces and just needs that extra something to pull it all together....See Morex-post Help for a Yellow Sunroom
Comments (83)Hi Lori Sawaya, I have been reading this thread with interest because I have been trying to find a Benjamin Moore yellow to replace a light yellow that has been in my living room for over twenty years. It is a yellow paint color an acquaintance used in her house that was a custom-match (to what I do not know) in Coronado paint. I, and everyone else that likes yellow, really like this yellow, but I would prefer to use Benjamin Moore paint when we repaint. When we originally painted the room, I tried to have our Benjamin Moore dealer custom-match the yellow and it was a poor match, so I ended up using the Coronado paint. I have recently tried a dozen, or so, Benjamin Moore yellow Color Samples (on Mighty Boards, rather than on the wall) and the closest matches in terms of value? are Weston Flax HC-5 and Goldtone OC-112, although they are a tiny bit more grayed down (which I like because they look better with the other Benjamin Moore paint colors in my house). The hue? (color) is somewhere between Weston Flax and Goldtone. I found your Munsell Color Notations for BM Off-White Colors and it places the hue for Goldtone at Y 2.59. Pale Moon is at Y 4.10, which may be the closest to Weston Flax. If you could provide the notations for Weston Flax I would really appreciate it (I am also curious what they are for Windham Cream HC-6 and Hawthorne Yellow HC-4, to compare with Weston Flax). Goldtone seems a bit too peachy with my upholstery (a linen print with a muted yellow/flax colored background), so I am tempted to try Weston Flax first, although the room faces north and I am a bit afraid it will show a green cast. I have considered Summer Harvest, but haven’t bought a sample of it because I was afraid it would be a bit tan like some of the more muted yellows I tried. Thanks so much for any information you can provide! lexy-02...See MoreNeutral Gray Paint
Comments (127)dgarstang, don't think SW Passive goes with your floor. You have brown in your floor - none in that gray that I can see, and it will look blue/green in comparison, IMHO. Gray in general is not going to make things brighter than what you have - and could make them colder. If you've not got much natural light, and want it to be warm and bright, go with a cream that is on the warmer side and you really cannot go wrong. It's timeless - not trendy (I'm guessing gray is going to be pretty OUT sooner or later - and that's coming from someone with two gray bathrooms. ;) )...See MorePlease help me choose a yellow paint, pics provided
Comments (74)You are correct. The number 5 in each hue family marks the point where the highest concentration of the respective hue parent is perceived. That's why all the 5s are marked with a big dot. Every color - all the colors we like to call neutral, white, grays, blacks - is defined by how much of the hue parent can be perceived. So, as you move counter clockwise from 5 Y towards the yellow-red hue family, the amount of perceivable yellowness lessens and yellow-red (orangeness) increases. You can see the gradation of hue unit lines on the color wheel. So the hue family notation tells you the proportion of hue parent that is discernible in a color AND also the proportion of overtone or hue bias from the neighboring hue family. Important to note - the notations are based on a D65 Illuminant which mimics a relatively balanced quality of light. The quality of light in your space may vary....See Moredecchallenged
