Can an Olive Drab Sofa Live in a Sea Salt room?
Comments (22)Oh you guys!!!!!!! I love it all! The pillows - I wish I could pile every one of them on my sofa. As for the rugs, I like them all but I think I could marry that purple rug -- but first I'll have to convince my husband that our old rug simply will not do. And I can't do that until I find the thing. I think it is in the far hinterlands, at the back of the last stack of boxes still waiting to be unpacked. We bought some faux silk drapes a couple of weeks ago; they are very close in color to the wall. I'll try to get them hung this weekend to see how they do ... but not until I shop for pillows ;) Unfortunately our the Homegoods store that was just a half an hour away has closed. Any other likely store suggestions? And THANKS again!...See MoreNeed color experts- rainwashed or sea salt???
Comments (5)We have Rainwashed in our master bedroom and it's a really pretty color. It does not seem too dark at all and our room faces east with lots of trees. It's also a small room; about 14' x 14'. We have Sea Salt in our hall bathroom and it's a really pretty pale green. There is no window in there so I can't comment as to what it would look like in a larger space. Perhaps more washed out than it appears in a small bathroom. With all that said, I'd go with Rainwashed. It's more blue/green than Sea Salt and sounds like it would complement your bedding and other decor better than Sea Salt....See MoreHELP! Can't choose between BM Quiet Moments and SW Sea Salt!
Comments (17)I sampled sea salt, quiet moments and rainwashed. In my very brightly lit, wall of southern windows (that have white plantation shutters that REALLY reflect our bright green florida lawn and our equally bright blue skies) open living space the Sea salt turned bright blue, quiet moments gray, and rainwashed bright green. All three of these colors look radically different and more like paint chip in my bright east facing bath that does Not reflect a lot of green and blue into room. i mixed 1/3 of each sample (measured with a scale for exact replicable measurements) and came out with a beautiful soft grayed green blue). Playing with other ratios today with same samples. my local paint store wouldnt take responsibility for calculating formulas based on my mad science projects, so they gave me all three individual formulas for me to calculate what i want. They will mix to those numbers. i am having them do a sample tomorrow with that formula to make sure it comes out good. good luck everyone....See MoreIn between SW Sea Salt and SW Filmy Green
Comments (18)I'm the OP. Just as an update, not that the info will help anyone else, but I ended up using SW Sea Salt, a 75% formulation, which looks extremely close to SW Sea Salt 100%. I got a sample of it and even though it was a bit bluer than I wanted, it is a very pretty color, and this is one of those situations where I could be happy with something that wasn't precisely what I had originally hoped for, and I am. (Also I was running out of time to make a color decision.) Thank you to all who generously gave such helpful information....See MoreH D
