They both have a ton of gray in them. I would say they do go together.

I love love love color and was determined to use it in every room when we first bought our house. But it was a real challenge to find the right balance. After painting each room 2,3 or more times, we finally scaled the color back a bit and ended up with RL Gold Finch in our kitchen. It's a sunny color, very much like the yellow in the picture from RMS. Our walk-in pantry (formally the laundry room) and 1 wall in the hallway is Behr Grass Cloth which is a close match to the green in that same photo. We originally tried a beige in the living room, but it opens into the kitchen and I didn't care for how the Beige worked with the yellow, so we opted to go with an off white called Behr Raffia Cream. It's on the 3 shorter walls in the living room and on the 4th wall located away from the kitchen, we used Behr Warm Muffin which looks like a darker golden color. That wall is very large, has a good sized window as well as our front door, which is painted white. It also extends up into the stairwell and it's all the same Warm Muffin color. It works amaziningly well with the Raffia Creme. We originally had a copper color on one wall in the living room but just couldn't adjust to it, it was too strong. My favorite part about having the colors that in the morning our whole downstairs glows in the sun. It's a great way to start the day. That kitchen in RMS is amazing, oh boy don't I wish I had the talent to mix and match colors like that!

Hello Eweandbee - I just started growing Strawberry Hill and BB this past spring. SH is in the ground but BB came as band and he's still in a pot. Here are photos that might help you with the color question. Strawberry Hill - with some orange shading in the center OpenSH with yellow stamens A bud of Benjamin Britten which looks cerise in this photo (according to my computer). I agree with Malorena that BB has some orange blended into its version of red when it opens, but SH does as well. I've heard that BB can get as tall as in 5-6 ft in California but I've seen Facebook photos from the U. K. of SH at 8ft tall on an obelisk. So you might think about whether these two should be placed together given given their proportional differences. If you'd still like to pursue planting them together, if you have the 2015 DA U. S. catalog, on page 95 there's a garden design plan showing BB planted next to The Mayflower (a pink rose) together. It's a matter of personal taste but I think the DA folks would approve of what you'd like to do in terms of colors. Good luck! Ann

One more question please....Should the Support piece of wood (not sure what it's called, maybe it's just decorative) just below the rain gutter in this photo be painted the same color as the body of the house OR should it be painted white ? When getting painting estimates, I've been told both ways. Thanks!
