Looking for medium-light aqua blue that isn't shocking
Comments (45)I just finished my bathroom after an eternal search for the right blue/green spa-like color. I tried about 7 different colors and I'm thrilled with the outcome. I used Para Paints "On a Cloudy Day" P5166-24. Benjamin Moore made the paint for me. The result is a soft color that reminds me of the ocean. I found Ocean Air which I originally loved to be fairly bright when I tried it out on the wall. These pictures are taken in a very sunny day so it looks a bit lighter but I think you'll get the idea....See MoreHow to decide if paint color should be light, medium, or dark?
Comments (14)anele -- I doubt a light color will make it feel any brighter, it's currently semi-gloss white! I think it feels stark and depressing. I like light and bright, but cozy would be okay since I don't think light and bright is really possible with just changing the paint. It's a small room, our home is small, so I would be happy with a cozy feel! I don't really like greenish undertones, either! jamies -- I appreciate your comments about choosing a shade depending on how dark the other things are in the room, that is very helpful! The curtains are a little lighter than the teak; they aren't similar colors (the curtains have more gold and the teak more brown/orange). The floors are definitely light, sort of an oatmeal color carpet. If we ever changed the flooring, I would not pick anything darker. I did paint our master bath a medium shade of grey, and I love it. It feels really right, not too intense, and not lackluster. Maybe I should try for a shade about the same in value? That way the change in color will be somewhat muted by them having similar value?...See Morelooking for warm, medium toned brown paint color
Comments (6)Look at the photos in the listing of Reading Room/home library. She painted her room BM Fairview Taupe. Depending on how dark you want to go a lighter color is Behr Harvest Brown. Roseabbey has posted photos of her home in this color and it's beautiful. I am sure you will get so many responses here that you will go crazy!...See MoreNeed advice Paint BM light taupe color
Comments (5)A beautiful Taupe Gray is RH Graphite. Not sure if they are still selling it since they just introduced a new gray series of colors. I have it on the ceiling and interior doors of one of our BRs. It definitely reads taupe....See MoreRelated Professionals
