Need help picking a lighter warm neutral paint!
Comments (8)Hi there, I don't have a paint color to recommend to you but I wanted to point out that your carpet has a pinkish undertone, and, your hardwood floor has a yellow undertone. As long as you are choosing a paint with either a yellow undertone or a pink undertone one or the other room isn't going to look good. Might I suggest going either really light, like cream, or maybe head in a different direction, like green which would go with both undertones? A warm grey could work too but I have virtually no experience with choosing grey paint colors so I cant advise a specific color....See MoreBest warm neutral Gray or Greige paint?
Comments (48)@Lori A. Sawaya I really have to thank you. Your questioning why the builder is so strict about only using SW colors motivated me to ask again. I explained that SW has the color-match formulas in their system, nationwide, etc. The home builder salesman I had been dealing with had never had anyone ask to color match & investigated further. I can color match! Also, I did get a SW sample of Behr Silver Drop. I had asked for a quart in a flat finish as that is what the builder will paint with. Miscommunication & I ended up with a jug of Silver Drop in the SW satin sample paint & a can of Silver Drop in a SW (Superpaint) flat finish. Three drywall boards of Silver Drop & 3 different colors. The salesman at SW had told me that the lighter color samples that use Extra White as the base are usually very slightly lighter than the regular paint. I'm going to continue my search & check out BM colors. I so enjoy your posts. We are very lucky that you so generously share your knowledge & expertise....See MoreAssistance Picking A Warm Neutral Color (Lighter) than Shaker Beige)
Comments (6)Thank you for all the assistance. I was leaning towards muslin (as it looks like linen) Since the FR and kitchen are now opened up to each other - I think one color would be best. The only concern is that the kitchen receives much more light than the back hallway and the family room. I'm wondering if the muslin will cast shadows in the late afternoon hours in the FR....See MoreHelp, revising my warm palette for neutral/cool tones
Comments (9)I've been here three years, haven't decorated a thing.. I always knew I wanted to paint, so I wanted to wait. Once I get the palette toned down some, then I feel I can invest in some worthy decor and art. Knowing I want to paint a cooler palette, do you have ideas for a cooler palette? The blue chair I think is an adverse reaction to all the warm tones and yellow. I couldn't help it. I also moved from a 1400 sf house to a 3800 sf one, so between hating the color and no decor, this is what I have at the moment :) I hope to change it soon as I get paint on the wall!!...See MoreDaria
