BM Kennebunkport Green SW Khaki Shade Blues with dark brown screams Grandma to me, but I'm probably biased since my own had this color scheme. Would you consider orange? Not pumpkin or loud or gawdy, but a nice subtle mature classy looking orange? I have links saved on my computer at home with some examples of stunning oranges that the average person wouldn't think of as a wall color but once you see the pics they're quite adorable. Sherwin William has some nice subtle orange colors if you want to take a look at their color palette. It would also brighten up the room nicely. Here is a link that might be useful: This orange is nice

Thanks so much for responding. Does anyone have a suggestion for an ashen green? I don't know what that is. hoyamom - I never thought of blue for the ceiling. That's sounds interesting. I had thought about a gray/blue for the walls before we brought in the green chair. I really like the combination of blue and tan. lindybarts - any suggestion from you is like a pearl of wisdom. I LOVE your house! I think I may have to do a larger sample of Svelte Sage o the walls. I don't think it is too gray. Actually, in our DR it is a very nice green. However, we had a green bedroom in our old home and I fell out of love with it pretty quickly. It was more of a blue green, though (with a differnt comforter, etc.) I'm just afraid of painting a color that I'm not in love with. I don't want to be unhappy with my choice in two months. I already have painter's remorse in other areas of my home. And since we are hiring painters for this, I feel a little more pressure to pick the "right" color. Any thoughts on Svelte Sage for the walls with a beige on the ceiling so the crown would show up more?

Picture of the room?

I wasnt commenting on the "florescence" of any color here - just thinking of a former neighbor's kids room in a really bright neon green that he picked out - not that I cared - he liked so why not. Just would be too much for an adult BR I think ... but bottom line is, its your place and indeed if the rest of the house is vibrant and colorful then certainly I would not wimp out in the bedroom. Lighting will do whatever you need to do, if you want it more restful and less energizing. I actually love the whole yellow-green thing and have left a trail of former apartments & rooms in that color over the years! Right now Im debating whether to keep my very old Martha Stewart K mart colors, Caneware and Meadow Way, or to venture into something new. I love them bc they are - for me- just the right balance of colorful and not overwhelming - like yellow, a little yellow-green seems to go a long way.
