Comments (42)your occasion is nature. so are the colors of nature or the colors of scenery in the end will be used for the north facing room. understanding the interpretation of all the colors on the color wheel and nature combined. knowing the base color undertones in paint which which happen to be your colors that don't work and knowing how the colors that don't work and why wrong colors don't achieve establish the best color and color outcomes of actual color. negative colors which and are used to create base colors for wall color to work as actual paint. knowing the rooms worst color is the hidden undertone within paint and later creates the perfect colors for the the north facing room. the north facing room enemy is violet, violet is entering as light appearing in the windows and darkening the rooms effect and it's glow is hiding the room's unknown beauty. so blues and greens disobey on walls but play an important role or part in art and color. these odd paint colors of blues and greens as wall paint that clash on walls later are the blue and green in nature and are the color keys to search for in color hiding in paints that said puts whites at they're best. these negative flat colors as keys for searching paints and paint colors that contain them and are useful and are the base colors in beautiful paint or beautiful rooms. using these horrid bases as color alone ruins the room but understanding how they work the way these bad colors work within colors are key to success for a north facing room. these horrid wrong blues grays and violets actually are the base colors that later on the walls become the perfect color for the north facing room. artists use theses horrid colors, colors that don't work as paint colors as your answer for the base color not a wall color but, base color only, which hide in paint and nature and worked together as paint. numerous colors of natures colors combined together form the perfect color for a north facing room. when these horrid wall colors are blended with combinations of color the color becomes the perfect color outcome or unknown color for the north facing room. love winter scenery ? vintage memories ? or winter art? these horrid stand alone colors for wall paint that annoy intensify the violets and don't work yet end up as base colors and hidden within paint are the true color within the color. later these hidden gem colors or base colors color bases work as color to blend decorating and paint together. by surprise like me, you'll find yourself pinning paintings and understudying paint galore;finally you'll be pinning colors like crazy unable to choose the perfect color because you'll find so many. like off whites and beautiful greens and grays. understanding outdoor nature color and base colors are the essential key. key to color works and creates the perfect room that color will encompass your home with warmth and connect your house cleanly while surrounding your house with art and home.. this and understanding violets being the issue and the violet the dominant invisible color of the north facing room. violet a key undertone in every and any form of color we see in nature an enemy and friend the violet light. happy, you'll love your north facing room....See MoreHelp picking a basement paint color for a north facing low light room
Comments (5)My experience is that dark gloomy areas need a strong saturated color. You have to have the lights on when you use this room and artificial light murders lights and whites, so why not do a deeper color? I would paint everything, trim, walls one color so the room is not broken up by distracting trim. Relying on my monitor to make this S.W. suggestion, because this shade of green looks like a good backdrop for you darker sofas and rug. Don’t you rely on my monitor, though…the green/blue in the rug....See MoreHELP! Need Paint colors for Low-light North Facing Rooms
Comments (7)Did you decide? I'm surprised you find the colour so bad... I actually really like it. It looks very seaside cottage / beachy and it works with the counter tops and back splash I think, which look like sand. If I were you, I'd paint the fireplace bricks the same colour as your trim, and extend the blue into the livingroom. I think it will look great. Good luck!...See MoreBest white paint color for cabinets/trim in North facing rooms
Comments (34)Oh Gosh! I'm going though the same thing. I'm leaning towards Simply White in my north-facing room. I know it can read really yellow in a south-facing room but a warm but still really bright in a north facing room with that cool light coming in. I'm afraid Chantilly white will read too stark. I'm painting both my bedroom and kitchen, one on top of the other with the same northern light. Also, I think of it as a color for modern spaces and I live in an old, historic house. Just not sure I can pull it off. Abbyfaye, I'd love to see your pictures! I have simply white in my hallways and like it. Is it weird to have it in my bedroom and kitchen too? I got samples from samplize and white dove comes across really greige/taupe and not very bright. I'm not loving it at all. Mystery to me why it is so popular. I'm losing my mind looking at blogs on the best white paint! Have to make a decision by Thursday!...See Moreteacats
