I'm going to paint my bedroom and I was hoping to use EK paint. The room is not that big (maybe 11x13) and has one window (about 35"x72"h). The window faces north/west and since the backyard is covered with trees the light that comes through the window is diffused through the leaves so it looks greenish and the walls have a greenish cast. I put up some swatches of buttercream and luminaire but they have an odd green cast from the trees. I dislike the color green so I don't want to paint my room that color. I love trees, I just don't like green paint. The room will have a bed, a small dresser, and a Pottery Barn club chair in espresso brown leather. The floor is an old wood parquet in a light golden oak. We don't currently have a rug. We don't have bedding either. Normally I would just paint the room tan but the rest of my house is tan, so I'm a little tired of it. I was originally thinking that I'd paint the room a light color like lavender mist, but DH just informed me that our club chair has be moved to the bedroom. So now I'm stumped on a color for the walls. Part of me is thinking of a red shade, but I want the room to be calming since I may have a baby in there with me in another year or so. I am really stumped. Do you have any suggestions for a color? I'm open to other brands of paint, but I put up EK paint in my foyer and I just love the glowiness of it. EK is the only local full spectrum paint here.

IMO you have enough gray if you look at the previous owners furniture that green color looks awesome with those floors so I would do a very soft gray/ green it will look good with the floors and not be a big gray box. I would suggest some more grown up art on the walls and save those for a diffent space and make sure when you hang the new art it is hung so the center of the work is at eye level which is usually about 65”

A bright northern exposure room can be treated almost like a south light room and you chose a winner with Gray Owl. But, it does have a green undertone, so not any old gray will work. Try a combo like this: Gray Owl and Nickel

Hi. I think about the adjoining room with white floor - are there any permanent features [like fireplace] - and their color might look good repeated somehow on the outer.
