Help me choose a paint color!
I’m trying to choose a new color for the two-story family room and upstairs landing and hall. I loved the look of Sherwin-Williams Sea Salt in online pictures, but I think it looks too dark on my wall. Sea salt is the third color from the top in the photo. Above that is Behr Silver Feather and at top is Behr Mountain Peak White. The colors look very different on the poster paper than they do on my wall. I used poster paper, rather than poster board; do you think the paints are over saturating the paper? The floors are a midtown golden oak. The room is partially open to the kitchen, which is currently basically off-white but can also be repainted.

Help me choose a paint color for my home.
Comments (39)Sorry, just cannot understand the all-out negative attitude on painted brick. Yes, certainly older (and some newer) brick is quite lovely and shouldn't be painted, but hasn't anyone seen the hideous beige/brown or pink/brown brick? Some brick just isn't pretty, people! Lots of houses, at least in the South, from the 60s and 70s had that yucky brick, and they can really be brought into the 21st century with paint. That said, Melanie's brick isn't ugly, but I do think painting it would make for a more cohesive and uniform facade....See MoreHelp me choose a paint colour for little boys bedroom
Comments (6)He needs a new twin bed for sure and as for wall color keep it neutral since his favorite color will change many times over the next few years. That dresser in front of the wall heater needs to be moved , it is always best to have nothing in front of a window that kids can climb on and maybe just put that in the closet. I think the wall color you have works well Get some fun removeable decals all about dinosaurs BTW all 3.5 yr boys love dinosaurs and I love the bedding.

Comments (4)Sample sample sample! DD painted her entire house Repose Gray. It came out baby blue. In the next house, she wanted baby blue, so she used Repose Gray again. This time it came out true gray. That convinced me of the necessity for having big samples of paint colors and looking at them at different times of the day....See Moreplease help me choose a paint color for this powder room
Comments (16)What if I were to paint the board and batten plus the wall all the same color? See inspiration below. I know they have the wainscotting going up the entire wall and I am doing only a half wall. Does that matter? I love this light color, but I have cool white floor and white sink. What would look good? Chantilly lace or white dove?...See Morecarolmomof3

3 years agoOK, I primed some wall sections and painted new samples. First is Silver Feather, which is a gray but looks light green on my wall (I’m ok with that.). Next is Sea Salt (at wall edge) which still looks darker than expected. I think I like the silver feather for the painted part of my kitchen, which is going to get a redo with new countertops, backsplash and some kind of white on the cabinets. Would running this color throughout the kitchen and the family room be too much/too boring, do you think? Any suggestions for a complementary colors?
