Why not pst your photos here IMO there is only one way to test paint colors and that is on your house in your light .

You are fighting an uphill battle. Loading your own photo's to the programs provides very iffy results. The photos that the programs provide are white balanced to match the white balance in their colorization program. Those colors will be closer matches to the paint colors than what you upload, but you still have to contend with differences in the computer's graphic card and monitor. Professional color sensitive systems run $10k or more. I have a laptop that is horrible at displaying greens. My other system does hues pretty well, but I know that colors will look more colorful in person - they are slightly washed out on my computer screen.

I am pretty experienced and pretty good at picking interior colors, but have much more difficulty with exterior colors. I usually go one shade darker and one level less colorful than what I think I want when working with exteriors. Bright sun washes light colors out and natural daylight is truly full spectrum light so we see every nuance a color has to offer.

That said, you could try sharing the links to the photos you like and we could try to give you advice. You can also use a couple of online tools that may work better than the BM or SW sites.

Upload the images you like to this site - it lets you use the image url.

When you get the results you can search for similar colors using the color match tab in Easy RGB

With a good computer display these two programs do work pretty well and get me close to the colors I want. If the display is horrible (like my laptop) it will only be as good as your display and you will need to rely on something better.

There is absolutely no substitute for testing colors by purchasing painted samples or painting your own samples. I always paint my own, but pre-painted samples are easy.

Highly recommend buying samples and painting on your home for ideas. We did this on two different sides of our home and made sure to look at the retails at various times in day. Very eye opening

I bought about 40 samples (not even kidding) and painted them on foam boards and moved them aorund the house and had Flo Mangan's help as well. We built in a new development, no trees and are high up so sunlight seemed to make every gray look "baby blue". I ended up going with a green gray to get closer to "just gray" and it still have a bit of a blue tone but at least not baby blue. The great outdoors can sure make colors look different than expected. As far as the color visualizers, they were nice for getting ideas, but definitely not an exact science.

Thank you so much everyone! So much great information. My realtor / friend / neighbor just came by and as I have a BM fandeck, we came up with some options for me to go buy samples of.

yup. I'm a graphic designer and I could bore you with the dozens of reasons why those apps don't truly work. use them to help ballpark your choices, that's the best they can do.

I was like Abby but to a smaller scale -- for one room that was really challenging, I took home about a hundred chips. I bought about 8 samples and actually painted HUGE swatches on the walls, in two different locations so I could see how light and shadow would bounce off of the different angles. I looked at them during different times of day. it took me a month to choose.

(usually it's easier for me, but this one room was particularly challenging.)
