What white/light color goes well with BM Mexicana?
Comments (5)sloyd thanks for the suggestions but I don't think those will work for me - most are too dark for this space which is a long rectangle with windows only at the far end (townhouse). THe lighter ones have green undertones and while I like green it doesn't look good with the warm red and the browns in our scheme, I think. I guess I am looking for a white with warm udnertones or a cream that is not "buttery"....See MoreAny Pics of BM White Sand, BM Muslin or BM Cream Fleece Walls?
Comments (6)You are so very welcome! :-) We tested a "gajillion" colors for the FR (this room is off the FR) until we finally settled on Mascarpone (one of my first choices, BTW, but DH wasn't too keen on it at first). Somehow I just knew that the Muslin would be the winner in the Guest Bedroom from the get-go. I did look at a two or three darker colors in there as well, just to be 100% sure, but really wasn't ready to go darker in there. Muslin is a terrific neutral color. We both absolutely love the Muslin. It looks a little creamier during the day, leans more toward khaki at night, but looks great either way. We are very happy with the Aura matte--have used it in every room we've painted over the past 5-6 years, incl ceilings (used matching colors to the wall colors in the satin finish on the baseboard molding in all rooms)....See MoreBM Decorator White walls with BM Super White trim and ceiling
Comments (16)Would you do simply white walls with super white ceilings and trim? Won’t the contrast make the walls look yellow? I would in a heartbeat. It's a very pretty combination. There's enough difference in Chroma that one won't make the other look dirty/dingy. But, yes, Simply White is more colorful, has more Chroma than Super White and it is yellower. The contrast of hue between the two could result in Simply White looking like a very pale creamy off-white. Considering the floor, I'd go with a little more color on the walls. Shoji White, Greek Villa kind of pale, subtle greige-y vibe....See MoreOff White BM paint colors to complement Georgian Bluff countertops
Comments (15)jacilla, that came out really nice. May I make a suggestion? replace the mini blinds. (they're horrible in a kitchen to keep clean) A diff window treatment would really jazz up that spot a bit. here: just a nice roman blind in a soft black/white pattern, some small green plants, and some cutting boards behind the stove. this blue/white ikat roman shade is cool or, some zebra blinds? and nice accesorries This Zebra Easy Roller blind in the blue gray is pretty diff colors woven wood blinds just showing you diff color combonations. maybe a blue/gray material that plays off the countertop Levilor Natural Woven blinds solar shades...See Moretibbrix
