Paint Home Decorating Design Dilemma

Paint color advise needed!! D:

4 years ago

I am desperately trying to choose a paint color for our "sun room" which faces north so it isn't especially sunny despite the large windows and french doors. I wanted to go with a dark cozy color, but don't know if it will be too much with the dark floors. The couch that will go in the room is a cream color and we will have an area rug and wicker rocking chair. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Here are the samples we have tried so far. Thanks!!

In the Blue spectrum I would look into a lighter blue like Benjamin Moore Phillipsburge Blue.

Its similar to the blue color you tried- just a bit lighter.

Benjamin Moore Lehigh Green is a happy medium between the two greens you have already tried.

Outside of the colors you did already I happened to like the Benjamin Moore Williamsbrg Wythe Blue.

Its a pretty aqua/gray color.

I so agree with you about that third picture -- it's perfect! I tested BM Weston Flax but it was garish in my house on an NC island. I discovered that only yellows that look beige in the paint can work in my light. That is, if they look yellow in the can, they are much too bright on my walls. But if they look beige in the can, they have a chance of being a nice yellow on my walls. I ended up with BM paint matched to Valspar's Homestead Resort Sunwash, which on my walls looks like the color in that picture and I'm very happy with it. BM's Mushroom Cap looks very similar in pictures but I haven't seen it in person.
