Comments (42)After we painted, we found the original paint can, but I gave it away since it no longer matched. It was a Berh paint, but it may or may not have been a Berh color -- it was painted nearly 10 years ago. Sorry. Now, I do have the BM can with the "custom" paint. I am not sure the label is accurate. There was one point where it went too purple, but for Regal Select Matte, it says one gallon is W1 4x 3.5000 M1 0x 23.5000 B1 4x 20.2500 O1 2x 16.2500 Looking at the BM colors online, it looks like it would be most similar to Admiral Blue or Midnight Navy, but not quite either. The earlier color was similar to Oxford Grey, but maybe a bit deeper and a bit more blue (it looks different online than on the card I have)....See MorePlease help me pick a paint for Family Room
Comments (22)I am with, caminnc creekylis kmcg85 auntjen rubybaby43 jen9 and I agree with rubybaby, there is not a nice contrast with the fireplace if you use the tan color. sooo... My very favorite is the first one. Is the one that picks one of the nice colors in your beautiful carpet, is rich enough for the style/color of furniture that you have, nice contrast with the fireplace and...is so beautiful with your hardwood flooring. By the way, is your base installed? or it is just narrow..? May I suggest a wider (5") base? Your room is going to be very beautiful with that carpet and flooring. good luck with your selection....See MoreHelp Me! Dining Room Paint Color
Comments (16)Your art work is quite vibrant and if you painted the walls a simple white and accent with the dominant color in the painting your room will be very striking. That being said I truly think the high contrast of white would be stunning but if you want a color I would consider the dominant color of blue in the painting......but a very pale version of the blue. If you want some more energy in the room, then accessorize with the second most dominant color in the painting for cushions, rugs, sideboard, lamps etc. But I really wonder if the art work will be big enough for the wall you have it leaning against......seems like art is really big these days and I think recommendation is art should be 2/3 width of wall it is hung on....I would double check and see if there are recommendations for size....if you wanted to widen the art then another piece or two to make a large gallery wall would be nice with the addition of two more painting on the same theme in smaller sizes..... Here are some art and wall combinations....you just want to make sure the art demands attention and not the wall. Try hanging different sizes of butcher paper in art sizes and see what looks the best to you. Wide art but added lamps for balance; and the blue paint lowers the ceiling to the eye console and lamps added for width for a smaller piece of art Wide art with console centered on the off centered wall due to door way Large art can stand alone on wall Multiple but related art used on two walls again with console and lamps and window curtains to set up framed area for the art.... Your desired orange wall done in very modern design mook...See MoreRelated Professionals
