To answer your questions, I don't have many accessories in those rooms yet (new house) so it truly is a clean slate. Most of my home is painted Tobacco Road, except for the bedrooms which are a light gold (SW Ivoire). But as linelle pointed out, gold DOES NOT work in these bathrooms! Ick! I tend to be drawn to "autumnal" shades, for lack of a better term -- rusts, tans, sage greens, golds, etc. My office is SW Grassland, so I am open to sagey greens, but I didn't want the bathroom to be too dark. I do like the look of Dry Sage in Red's photo, but it looks as if she gets a lot of natural light. I might pick up a sample though. I'll look at Austere Gray too. What's BM's name for Silver Sage again? I don't have access to RH but I do have BM.

I like the Avocado and even better, the Heart of Palm. I would not want the intense chartreuses on my walls so I would vote for the calmest chartreuse I could find. I would let the fabric have the intense chartreuse (accents of strong chartreuse). That being said I just bought a leather chair in "Citron" and it looks a lot like the "Gecko" paint swatch posted above by Beverly27. We will see how I manage that standout when it comes to choosing paint. Best of luck with your paint. Should be a fun room.

ellendi - so I guess that could argue for greenish walls or beige-y cream walls. The paint could bring together either the tiles or the counters which are actually a very light tan. And the grout, which is "almond" looks much lighter than I wanted it to but it's another light cream factor. Hmmmm. I am going to the SW store on the way home. Will have them mix up a few and paint them on to see. Will try to take some photos. bluemoon - I like the Masada in that kitchen but I think I've burned myself on the orange and there's no going back. I feel completely decisionally incapacitated at this point. Too many decisions are not going right. I am going to spend triple the cost of that backsplash fixing that sticking-out edge and some bad grouting between the splash and the counter (I know, there's supposed to be siliconized caulk there, not grout. Told the tile guy that. He said it's ok 'cause the grout is polymerized. In either case he didn't do a good job with that line). What I do love so far is the counters, the sink (single bowl - would never go back), and the Kohler Karbon faucet (the most awesome faucet ever for a lot of reasons especially the ergonomics of washing dishes).

I'm agree with you, It is very difficult to duplicate or exact match wall color especially with grey color. However please don't be afraid with color, just paint whatever you like as long as it is in the same root color / monochromatic with the existing features (ie; furniture, ceiling, timber color etc)..or if you want to step little bit more just paint darker in one side wall and left three others with the light color.
