companion colors for bm baby turtle paint

14 years ago

My kitchen cabinets are bm muslin and my granite has a lot of movement. the granite is Crema Bourdeaux - brown color dominates but has black, grey undertones, some red streaks, and cream.

The cream in the granite really looks nice with the cabinets

I need to find a color to paint the kitchen (just under and over the cabinets). Baby Turtle looks nice but I need color. So maybe I could paint a complimentary color around the pantry.

What colors look good with baby turtle?

I tend to lean toward greens.

My kitchen was finished 2 years ago and I am still agonizing over paint.

Thanks

Barbara

I wish I had a photo showing the corner, where the entry wall connects to the LR wall, (divided by antique white molding) but I don't. Anyway, my LR is Baby Turtle and I painted the entry Benjamin Moore Dry Sage. The DS looks totally green on chip, but in my light it goes from green to grey/green to almost blue. I think that Ttodd also tried it with the Turtle and liked it...........maybe I misremember?

Hi Red,
I had looked at dry sage before I found baby turtle for under the kitchen cabinets. I may need to re-visit the ds. Your wall color is very nice, thanks for the photo.
My pantry faces away from the window, so I think I need a brighter color that compliments bt or ds. Any ideas?
thanks for your reply.

Paint trim color for BM Baby Turtle

My kitchen is BM Baby Turtle and my trim is BM Vanilla Ice Cream. I find the Vanilla Ice Cream is the perfect creamy white. I have it on all trim on the main level (haven't gotten to painting ugly wood trim upstairs, but I will) and think it goes well with all colors in my house (red, gold, tan, green).

I need opinions on someone that has painted with Baby Turtle. What color did you use for the fabrics on the room. Please tell me if you like the curtains. I also posted on decor forum. I am trying to take better pictures but is hard with the light, there is the same green on the fabric. The pillow is only pretend but I can make them for the chair or the couch. The color on the wall is baby turtle by BM and it looks so much nicer in person. I think I like this ones better. Please give opinions. They are still not finish keep that on mind. I like the short rode but it can be with rings o without or could be pleated. Thank you for your help.

I have SW mix BM paint colors for me all of the time. SW has all of the color formulations for BM in their computer so it is the exact BM color that you're getting only in a SW brand so it's not a color match - you're getting the exact thing. Just make sure to know the name, color # and collection that it's from when you go in just in case there is somebody working that isn't familiar w/ it.
