Help me choose paint color for my new kitchen
Comments (17)Here are photos of the rest of the house. I'm not proud of the quality of the images, but they get the point across, I hope.

The lower walls is Zolotone with pink, two shades of grey, and off white. The trim is painted pink and off-white. The blind on the right is the fourth wall of the dining room, not visible in prior image - a built-in bookcase full of photography books, hidden behind a blind to protect them from the UV rays.

Comments (27)Which of the 2 whites below do you prefer? They are the same white - Heron Plume. A small sample surrounded by some other color doesn't give you any idea what this will look like when painted on the entire wall. I know you want to pick the color from the little swatches, but you are just making a stab in the dark....See More- Misty thanked Celery. Visualization, Rendering images
