Need help finding a light tan paint
Comments (15)Do you think these 3 color play well together Yes. Because Ounce of Silver and Barely Beige/Canvas Tan have the same pitch of value. It's not smart to use words like "always" and "absolutely" when speaking to color but it's "almost always" guaranteed to work if your colors are similar in value. Additionally, it's a comfortable mix of warm and cool White Dove works too, it's a pretty, versatile white....See MoreNeed help finding right tan/beige to go with grays.
Comments (11)Have you looked at Alabaster? Different rooms are going to show differently with lighting by day then by night. Best thing to do is select a couple of the colors you favor and get a couple of poster board cut in to 4's and leave the outer edge of the poster board white so your eyes don't play tricks on you. That is really the only way you will know if it turns green, blue or other in your particular space. I do love Shoji White. Shoji White is the perfect warm white with a gray undertone; it looks beautiful with wood or metal finishes. Yet, you need to see how it looks in your space even though it's under construction. If you have lighting in then you can see your picks placed on a few different walls so you know they don't change AM to PM lights on and off. Modern Gray is very pretty and if you find it a hint too dark given SW sells larger sample cans you can have them lighten it 25% (25% will be a very, very little bit lighter or you can do 50%) after testing it by taking the can back to them and telling them to lighten it. Concerned it might be cold, but do love the color. If you google Modern Gray by SW you will see it changes a lot in different rooms....See MoreStruggling to decide on paint in master bath

Comments (7)Do you need a mirror by the front door? I haven't had a mirror by the entryways in our last two houses and have not missed. I would rather see color and art. For me, art has always been the last thing I do after a move. Even if that meant my collection sat it laundry baskets and crates for a few months. Also, it allowed me to feel the new place first. I would rather get it right the first time Since our last move, I still have numerous large and two crates of smaller art pieces in my cloffice I do not want to part with. I added a few more to walls after living here ten months, as the empty spaces started to bother me. I also hang art inside walk-in closets and pantries when there is space. Another line of thinking is favorite pieces do not necessarily need to be in public spaces. I agree with everything in @Aphaea's comment. Especially that less is sometimes more. More is more can only work in the right spaces....See Moresloyder
