need help with a paint color

Behr.com

site not working cindy.. but the behr color i was thinking was
called granite grey.

[cindy0721]

i cant save it ...but there is the site.. type in the color and preview it.. it looks REALLY nice...

[cindy0721]

look in the background of the flowers ... it looks sorta like that.. the area back there is a bit darker than usual but it gives you a idea.... hope it helps!

Here's a few ideas...

black/tan/white
black/taupe/white
black/maroon/white
black/grey/white
black/silver/white

grey/yellow/white
grey/pink/white/black


But I'd look at curtains first and draw some colors from that. I had a bedspread that had purples, silver, black and green in it and that sounds awful but it really was cool.

I like clean simple colors, too. Modern furniture - I think that's what you call it. Not futuristic - just clean simple lines.

Good Luck Gina!

cindy, i went into the behr and saw the color contemplation,its nice, but
alittle green for me.. i must say, green and blue are colors i dispise..
im getting used that green look though.. im just thinking about accessorising, shower curtains and window treatments..

If you're leaving your trim white, what about black?

There are some darling black and white wallpapers out there that you could use, too, and only have black on the bottom half ... just a thought.

[Lexi Rae]

the trims will stay white..no black wil be in there anymore...
i think im going to go with a darker gray this way i could accessorize with
any color i want.. i just have to find a shower curtain and match maybe
a shade , like a roman shade.. hows that sound for the window?

It's not white. My bedroom and living room are painted thar color and I love love love it but it HAS to be Benjamin Moore. I first tried Baer (sp?) in antique ivory and the color came out really yellow looking.

Try it, it's not white at all.

What about a deep plum? NOT purple, dark plum or merlot.

[Lexi Rae]

I would suggest going to Linen & Things (or another store) and finding the shower and window curtains you like. Then, pick a wall color from that fabric, or a color that compliments the fabric colors. That's the way I always decorate a room - with a pillow, or a fabric. I was just in Linens & Things today and they have a fabulous selection of shower curtains.

If you like modern, a blue (or greenish blue) with the chocolate and tan combination looks great and is really "in" now. You can actually do almost anything with gray, as it looks light enough to almost be "white."

Good luck!

THis is the color I painted one of the bathrooms in the new home. It is just beautiful. I love colors that haven't been around. I think you would really love it.
