I have Blonde in the back hallway and laundry room. It is very similar to the Eddie Bauer Amber Yellow in the kitchen. In other rooms I have restrained gold (dining room), Ivorie in FR and foyer, Raspberry Truffle in LR, mannered gold in master bedroom & Ivorie in master bath. I think alot of colors will blend with blonde. Very pretty color. If you would like to peek, here is my link. Bonnie Good luck finding your perfect color!

I agree the Snowbound will look brighter against the White Dove. I would caution regarding the Snowbound on the ceiling, I considered it and had the painter paint many large samples in different areas and it took on a taupe/pink tone against my SW Crushed Ice walls and all dark wood floors and this is in an area that faces the west with a lot of afternoon sun. I ended up going with the SW Ceiling paint and its is awesome no matter what color is on your walls, it hides the imperfections if any in your ceiling too. I was originally concerned with the Ceiling paint conflicting with walls in some rooms painted Snowbound and cabinets up to the ceiling in Snowbound but no issue at all where the wall or cabinets meet the ceiling.

You don't need to spend the extra money on Emerald for the ceilings. Like I said before, you need to ask the builder what the extra costs are going to be before you decide. Contractors get ProMar extremely cheap, especially builders. Usually it's for a select few colors. 20 years ago my MIL managed properties, they painted everything Dover White. They got Dover White in 5 gallon buckets for $10. But...only Dover White, nothing else came with that price tag because it wasn't in large volumes. Your builder may outright refuse to do anything other than what is stated in the contract. You need to find this out before you go further. Contract states one color through out. They are not going to paint your individual rooms different colors, its not going to happen. Your best bet may be to hire a painter once your build is done, then you can dictate colors, finishes, ect. And that painter can advise you on what to use.

Hi all - yes, it’s a lot of color. But after many years of renting, we are thrilled to be in a position where we got to choose the paint colors and we really love how it all turned out - except for the trim, of course. The previous owners made a lot of interesting paint choices (like SW Denim in the guest bath and bedrooms 🙈), so we were forced to repaint anyways. I don’t know if the home was originally a Craftsman, but it was built in the 50’s and taken down to the studs in 2014 - hence the new windows. Our home faces the West and we have several large oak trees in our yard, so for the most part, the house is really lacking in natural lighting (except for the dining room). We’ve added some more recessed lighting in the main area to lighten things up and are also in the process of switching all the light bulbs from soft lighting. We also have low ceilings - I think 9’ tall? Here is the dining room - ignore the light fixture as it’s not staying.
