PAINT

Svara på: I think a lighter tone but with those cinnamon undertones would be great. I wouldn’t go gray. Here is one to try. SW Tres Naturale. SW 9101. That is on their fan deck page 203 if you have one. Here it is from my camera but it looks better in person.

Q

Svara på: I like the current color on the wall better than any of those light ones. But why more gray? gray carpet, bed, headboard, furniture,,,,how about a little color? you mentioned blush,,, try this color just for grins,,,(it's actually a little grayer on the wall) BM Raindrops on Roses accent it w/this color, below, or those pillows that were mentioned, above. or try the Thunder. Maybe Kendall Charcoal don't like those beige-grays at all.

Q

Svara på: Can anyone recommend a color that is just a little less beige than anew gray before I go a buy a dozen more samples? That would be Thunder AF-685. Grab a chip and see if that really is what you want. Thunder belongs to the Yellow hue family over near the Yellow-Red hue family as you can see on the color wheel below. What that means is it's a good near neutral that will relate nicely to the blush-pink color in your palette. If you get a sample, don't paint it on the wall. Paint a sample board and move it around the room in different light, in and out of the shadows in order to properly evaluate. I hesitated to post the image above because even the best quality and calibrated monitor cannot render paint colors as they appear in real life. So right now everyone is looking at those three Colorographies next to each other and sees something different. You really need chips or samples to do this little experiment. Take a chip of Anew Gray, Thunder, and Mindful Gray and lay them out exactly in that order and you will see a gradation of grayness. What you're doing is putting the colors in order by CHROMA. The chroma scale indicates a color's degree of grayness. Anew is the least gray, most beige; Mindful is the most gray, least beige. Thunder is right in between the two in terms of beigeness/grayness. This should help you see/decide if less beige is really what you want

Svara på: Cortney, OK here's the first pass at your color palette. It has warm and cool greys, blush pink, aubergine, white, and a purple-grey. Let me know what you think and where I need to tweak. I called it Flirty Friday. I think you'll need to open up your room vision just a bit to keep it from being too girly-feminine with just the addition of the blush pink as the source of color, thats why I've added the other hues that pair well with blush pink. It will lean feminine - but most master bedrooms do. Here are just a couple of examples of some accent euro pillow shams you could add in behind the white, which will sit against the grey. I would also add a second layer of shams as well - and don't match anything! Keep it collected. I wasn't sure what patterns you preferred so I'm showing you a wide variety. You're young so have fun with it! I also added a very modern geometric that adds a touch of black and neutral too - even though it stretches this original palette option. Karen

Svara på: Try a sample of BM Ballet White.

Svara på: My previous home had warm wood tones much like yours- you have a gorgeous backdrop to work with! I used Benjamin Moore Muslin. Great off-white neutral with a mild warm tone without being too beige or yellow. I also agree that gray is not going to work well.
