Comments (51)I bought 5 samples today, one of them was a white for trim so just 4 for the walls. After considering what I already have, I decided to pick ones that had different undertones. As an example, I didn't get Horizon, b/c it's so close to Paper White, and i have that color in two rooms in my current house. It's pretty, but it definitely reads blue. I think this is partly due to my trim being Snowfall White, which is very close to Simply White. I think with a truer white it might appear a little more gray, although still cool. I ended up with Intense White, which is actually what I had wanted to use in one room instead of the Paper White. Also got Shoreline 1471, which reads a little more gray than Horizon, although I feel like the purple will come out I wanted to make sure. Also got Classic Gray ElleN, I'm going to give it one more shot. And Swiss Coffee, b/c my sample is so old for that one. I feel like with what I have and the new, I should definitely be able to come up with something. I buy these small flat canvases at Walmart in a 3 pack and they work amazing for paint samples. I have found that even foam board can curl pretty easily, and I'm not a fan of painting directly on the wall anymore, have screwed that up too many times. ElleN I agree Halo is very green, so I don't think it will do me any favors. And Gray Mist is not a very fun color, but I can't believe it looked so yellow on your walls. I think you're right, they might have mixed something wrong. Here's a couple of pics of our old kitchen with it. It was a great neutral with the floors, cabinets and countertops....See MoreWhat color roof for light brown brick colonial?
Comments (14)Big props to Flo! Those colors look great. You will be very disappointed if you do white. The weathered wood roof seems like a safe choice, and you really don't want to worry about a leaky roof. Depending on what those big shrubs are, you may be able to severely prune them, but not right before winter, or the new growth won't have time to harden off. Fall is a great time for new plantings, so their roots can grow over the winter....See MoreWhat trim colors with a very light gray brick?
Comments (4)I like white trim on your house. I agree, the door needs replacing. I would wait to choose a color for that, until you get a new door. You may want a stained door, rather than a color, since that is very popular right now. My choice would be, a dark red, or a dark teal on your door....See MoreRina
