These are the chips of SW latte, whole wheat and bagel. Above them is Gliden vintage yellow and above that is Olympic toffee crunch. We are not using the yellow now (because of the oak.) This is BM Baby Turtle in my dining room, it is on the left around the soothing green tea. This is the baby turtle in the kitchen. I liked it on the left, but under the cabinet I do not. Cyn, the Buttered Toffee looks like a nice light neutral, like the upper ones in the three chip strips (latte, whole wheat and bagel.) I am thinking about a color like that for my hallways and possible family room. I like the green, (I will check it out for my bedroom!), but I'm not sure about it with the green I have in the fabric. FunC, I like the rattan as a deep neutral, but not enough, so I think I will keep looking at greener colors. Tracee, Thanks, I am turning my thoughts back to a green for those rooms, and that crown point sand looks like a good neutral too. At first I was using the Ben Moore Personal Color Viewer, then I posted on the ben moore forum, and that is how I got the Firenze, rattan and safari. I got the chips for those, and some testers, but I just didn't think they looked right. I started Googleing the colors, that is how I found GardenWeb! Every time I googled a color, it sent me here, that is why I posted, because I was so impressed with the posts I had seen! Is the way I did this fine? Should I break down and have a different question for each of the major rooms? Thanks to all who are helping! Sorry I need so much help, but all this has gotten me thrown for a loop, and now my house looks worse with all this wrong paint on the walls! Ohh, what do you think of the baby turtle? Thanks again!

The lighter one is better than the other one. But they both have green undertones. Look for something a little more blue

I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my living room. Knew the colors I was going to paint, the flooring I was going to put in and the color of he sofa. Then I went sofa shopping. I needed a 3x2 sectional for my living room (large room). I went to several stores that sold higher end furniture - wanted something that would last. One of the stores had a sofa that was the exact size that I wanted sitting in their back room - the person who ordered the sofa refused delivery - didn't care for the color. I got the sofa at 60% off. It is cream colored. I was planning on light walls and a darker gray sofa . . . Since I had not painted the walls yet I could make this purchase with little angst. Had I already painted I would have most likely still purchased the sofa as it was a much better sofa than I could have afforded without the discount and I would have re-painted the walls.

Get a modern-looking garage door with some windows. It's a big part of the visual, so it matters.
