Help with bathroom paint colors and making a decision please!!
Comments (1)After looking at this picture and researching, does anybody think this color is BM Quiet Moments or is a lighter color than that? The picture when I found it was labed "green and brown bathroom". I would not be opposed to painting my vanity an espresso color or something similar to the color in the pic in order to achieve this look. Thanks again for any and all help...I am in desperate need!...See MoreHELP! Need to make decisions on exterior
Comments (2)While you can sometimes get lucky with an anonymous internet opinion, it's rare that this shotgun approach will help you to create a cohesive and integrated appearing home. Perhaps a design consultant in your area would be willing to give you a last minute appointment to discuss your project. If you are as indecisive as you indicate, using a professional to assist you with your project can be the best money you spend on the job....See MoreExterior Paint Decisions
Comments (8)Nice home. I love the wood. I would re-finish it. Then, I would be inclined to go with tones of Foggy Day and Polvo de Oro by Sherman Williams. www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/paint-colors-bhttps://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/paint-colors-by-family#/active/color-wall/section/sherwin-williams-colors/color/1922/sw-6235-foggy-day/y-family#/active/color-wall/section/sherwin-williams-colors...See MoreExterior Paint Decisions
Comments (15)Boy, I’m stuck Aphea - though the icy green colors appeal to me a bit more than pure white, they each have a very high LRV which to me equals high glare factor when looking at house while sun shining on it. I’m familiar with So Cal heat & do appreciate the heat reflective goal you have but, for me, I like more color. My understanding is an LRV of at least 50 is recommended to ”…reflect more light than it will absorb…” Of your icy green shades, Italian Ice Green has the lowest LRV of 81.91 so it’s still pretty high on reflective scale which to me equals glare. 50 - 100 is high reflective. As a compromise, I’d look for a LRV in the 60’s to low70’s range for body of house & a trim color for railings etc. in the 50 or lower range to get a nice color contrast. For sure i’d be getting samples & painting big squares on all sides of house before committing to a color. I don’t have the benefit of walking around in your neighborhood to see color combos others have & what works or not for your area! As I said, I’m familiar with your climate - as wll as AZ, but I’m currently in PNW! Kathy...See MoreRelated Professionals
