Favorite cream paint and a ? about mixing white/cream in a room
Comments (13)I've wondered too and I think most whites, or at least white's that aren't really stark have some "undercolor". I think you get, yellow, green, blue, pink or grey. I bought a house with white walls with a grey undertone and didn't realize till I repainted with a white with a yellow undertone years later. I liked it so much more, the grey undertone I thought was depressing. I think the yellow undertone gives you that old fashioned "linen" look. I also tend to really dislike a pink undertone and find blue makes me feel cold (ice cubes anyone?) which might be a benefit in a bedroom as I like to sleep in a room on the cool side. I prefer the yellow and green undertones myself but thats just personal preference. Might be a question for a paint store person....See MoreBathroom Green/Beige Paint Color Help Please!

Comments (5)Thank you again for your advice on colors. I love the combination of colors you have chosen. But I feel that again, I have not been very clear. The "landing" I am referring to is on the 1st floor. Unfortunately, in that dark niche outside the two bedrooms, I cannot hang anything because a thermostat was placed on that wall, and the A/C man just confirmed that it cannot be moved without a lot of work and expense. That is very unfortunate!! There is a "landing" on the 2nd floor too, along with a long hallway that connects bedroom to bathroom and study. In my opinion, the color of the stairwell will have to also be the color of the walls on this 2nd floor hall. Walls of study are BM 1077; walls of bathroom are SW Krypton; walls of bedroom are BM 1075. Please let me know if the colors you are showing are BM 1077 and SW Dover White. Those are colors I would like to stick with in my color scheme in general. I just believe I need to go lighter than BM 1077 on the walls of this hallway and on the 1st floor landing....See MoreBeige/Cream trim-can I do the walls white?
Comments (5)Try B.M. Decorator’s White and if your woodwork is anything like B.M. Linen White, the two colors will work nicely together. Decorator’s White seems to have fallen our of favor lately (so many whites from which to choose), however it is a good fall back white because the undertone (even though it is not noticeable) is green. I love the combination....See MoreElizabeth H
