I'm confused. What is that second pic, with the pinker wall and paint swatches? And what is the kitchen wall color now, where you have the paper plates? It doesn't look much different than the Riviera Beach.

Actually the color of the room now is Twine a Martha Stewart color. The Riviera Beach is the same tone but a little lighter. The second pic is actually twine too. My camera and the lighting sure makes it look pink. I guess it is hard to actually tell the true colors with a camera and computer pictures.

Sorry I can't vote. Both paper plates look the same on my screen.

To me it just looks like you'd be repainting with basically the same colors so why bother unless the walls are all scuffed and actually need repainting. There is so very little difference in the wall color and the new choice colors. If they just need repainting and you want to repaint with matching colors then I'd say any of those choices would be fine.

I think the second pic shows the difference in the two colors. But the true color for the existing paint is shown in pictures one and three not the pink in pic 2.

Just looked at all three next to each other on my computer. Agree w/u about painting over the Natural Twine, as that is SO pink! the Riviera Beach and Mushroom Bisque on your plates don't look anything like the swatches. Agree, though, with Arkansas Girl that the colors are so close so I think we're wondering what you're trying to achieve. In the second pic, are those swatches of the Riviera Beach and Mushroom Bisque up on the wall? That second pic appears to be much closer to the actual colors of all three than the first and third pic. Think all three of these colors are just too fleshy and pink. JMO, of course. Is that what you're wanting?

This is the swatch of the Stewart Natural Twine you have on the walls now

The color is Twine. The number is G14. I don't think the one above is it. I am looking for a nice neutral color. I was thinking of some sort of warm greige but couldn't find one in Behr's. Then I wasn't sure how it would look with my cabinets.

This is G14 Martha Stewart Twine. I think we're confused because the colors in your pics are SO different from the swatches online.

I think this would be a very nice neutral, Behr Pebble Stone

tibbrix I like that pebble stone a lot. I am going to HD later today to check it out. Thanks!

Tib is a wonderful color advisor!!!

Mary44-- I have seen you post a few times about your kitchen, and it seems like you really want to make some changes to it. So, I agree with the above, that the colors you have shown are so close to what you have, it hardly seems worth doing. I would encourage you to look at some light gray greens or blue grays. I think they'd look nice in your kitchen. Tibb's suggestion of Pebble Stone looks great!

Here's a couple of inspiration photos-

As for the colors on the paper plate, unless the room needs re-doing because of marks etc, I wouldn't bother since both colors are almost identical to what is already there,.

Oh, my goodness, Aktillery. Thank you so much for the very nice compliment. I've really taken an interest in paint color, ever since I bought my house, picked every wrong color in the book because I knew nothing about paint color, then joined GW and began learning from all of you!

One more Behr color to check out is Merino Wool. It's a Home Decorator Collection color. I used it in my kitchen and family room and it's a great neutral color.

Mary, Do you have an end vision for what you want this room to look like when it's done? An inspiration photo maybe? When reading through your post, I had similar thoughts as many here, that the color isn't much of a change. I have oak cabinets too and originally I wanted to do a color like the ones you are sampling, however, to me, the tone of the cabinets had too much yellow or orange and were not compatible with the tan. I went with a yellow and that was too much for me, so we changed it to Behr Raffia Cream which is lovely with the cabinets and really good base for any other color I want to introduce into the room. I opted for a slightly darker shade of a cream with a green undertone for the ceiling. Here is an pic so you can see what it looks like:

Tibbrix's idea of Pebble Stone looks so pretty.

I have been asked what my vision is for this room. Please see all the following pics and help me decide, I did get a sample of the Pebble stone and it does have a strong green undertone which isn't a bad thing. I do like the color a lot (thanks Tibbrix!) but I am not quite sure it goes with my surroundings(cabinets, blinds, counter tops and the new canvas art I will get). I have removed the border. And will change out all the metal wall art (th circle with the canvas art) Let me know your thoughts

yes, I saw this pic of the Pebble Stone - green undertone, which you can see in the swatch too. But green would actually be very good with your oak cabs. However, if green undertones turn you off (I don't care for them), then let's keep looking. Are you really stuck on Behr?

Now I recognize your kitchen!

You can see the green undertone in this pic of the Pebble Stone.

I think this is very similar to how the PS would look in your kitchen since this bathroom appears to not have a lot of natural light, just like your kitchen. Again, your oak cabs would look great against this color, but if the green turns you off, let's keep looking.

It is a nice color and I don't mind the green undertones just not sure how well it looks with my counter tops, backsplash (Bronze fusion) and the new art. Almost like too many colors going on. I do like it with the cabinets. My husband likes to use Behrs. I do have a Sherwin Williams close by but I am not totally convinced on the color match thing. No BM locations nearby.

Well, IMO, the artwork you posted, of the wine bottles, is perfect for the PS. I think your kitchen right now is SO monotone that the brown/green in the PS will actually give it some life, some warmth. My suggestion would be to get a sample pine and paint as much of the kitchen using the sample paint as you can (you can probably paint the entire kitchen with it). then live with it for a week, and see how you feel about it. You might not like it at first as it will be a change (although not a dramatic one!). I kind of get the feeling you're hesitant to make a move because of that, which leads me to believe your first instinct will be to regret any change (which also explains why your first choices of paint color were so darn close to what you've got there now!).

At any rate, the brown/green of the PS will definitely be better than the pink of the Twine! I really like the way the PS shows in that inspiration pic of the bathroom. and it will be great with your countertops too.

Her adjacent living room is green.

do you currently have the artwork? I think it will add nice color to your table area. it sounds like you want to go lighter in color than what you have now... I think I would tend to go more neutral with the walls and think something along the lines of the raffia cream would be a good idea... are you keeping the vertical blinds? if you're undecided, that's something you might want to decide before you select a paint-- esp if they have a similar tone as your current wall color.... they look lighter but maybe similar (?) to your current wall color... a neutral cream would probably be best with them too.

the pebble stone in the above pic that tibbrix shows is gorgeous, but would look entirely different in your space with the oak cabinets, countertops, backsplash, wood floors and the blinds....

The PS and SW Artichoke are nothing alike, but this thread made me think of Homersmom's thread about painting her office. She painted it in SW Artichoke, and it is really beautiful. Oak desk….green and oak go really great together, yet the PS is much more neutral than is Artichoke, which is why I think it might be a great color for mary's kitchen. Here is Homersmom's office in the Artichoke with the oak hutch.

I really like the color in jlc's first pic too. I wonder what it is.

The first pic shows SW Moonstone. I like it too.

I can't pull up a SW Moonstone. I wonder if they discontinued it?
