House Beautiful usually has color swatches and names in there, which are fun to look at for color ideas.

Lighting plays a big part in how color will look on walls too, that's why I paint a swatch directly on the wall. It's worth the trouble to get a color you'll love.

House Beautiful...I will look into that. THANKS!

I always forget about getting the smaller cans for samples...

Thanks so much for your input!
