Gah- paint color issues!
Permalink Closed

Thank goodness for paint samples because I don't think either of these colors are going to work!  Both of them turned out a lot brighter/funky than I envisioned.  I want green but not "oh my that's green!"  They make the quilt I picked out look colorless and bland looking.  I'm beginning to think I should return it for something with a pink/red floral for a complimentary look. 


Any thoughts or ideas on color selection and bedding?

Actually I don't really mind the color on the left...I think it looks cool/clean against the white quilt.  I like the the idea of white or mostly white bedding against a dramatic wall color...I'd use an accent color in the form of: shams and/ or toss pillows and maybe some other accessories placed within the room.  With that green I could see as you mentioned pink/red or navy/royal blue, chocolate brown or some shades of purple...

That's the thing, it's not a white quilt!  It's a light blue/green.


I played around with BHG color-a-room which is a fun tool.  This is probably the look I'm now after:

Have you tried matching the color of the quilt on a paint chip and then going 2 or 3 shades deeper on that same card?  That's how I get stuff to coordinate a lot of times.  Or find a nice complimentary color - if it's light green, then the complimentary color would be a terra-cotta/orange-y color.
