We painted the walls Behr's Polar White - while painting you worry it's going to turn out way too close to the white trim, but it dries a very pretty light blue-ish grey. It's possibly my favorite color in the whole house so far :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-suggest-paint-color-im-lost#post-1638525 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:29:39 +0000 Torchwood 1638525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is "milk pail" by martha stewart. It's blue, though with just enough green in it that if you hold up something really *blue* blue it looks green. We struggled for a long time choosing a color, and we're very happy with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-suggest-paint-color-im-lost#post-1638511 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:22:54 +0000 charmed 1638511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a light blue or green would look great.<br /> And that backsplash is gorgeous! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-suggest-paint-color-im-lost#post-1638486 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:13:18 +0000 photojane 1638486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grey with brown undertones. It looks like the back-splash is a warm white/beige, so I think a browny-grey would be nice. And, it will complement the brown in the living room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-suggest-paint-color-im-lost#post-1638482 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:10:26 +0000 tysonja 1638482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>great suggestions! :)</p> <p>I think it would work best if you painted the whole first floor (at least the adjoining room) the light grey... so awesome you already have the white trim! looking forward to seeing the photos! :)</p> <p>from the photos it looks like you have great natural light in there, too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-suggest-paint-color-im-lost#post-1638419 Thu, 15 May 2014 20:55:29 +0000 doodlepoodle 1638419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our family room is a nice soothing green-gray (sherwin williams comfort gray) the living room &amp; kitchen (connected) are a grey-grey which is a color I can't remember the name of for the life of me...sorry! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-suggest-paint-color-im-lost#post-1638414 Thu, 15 May 2014 20:54:35 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 1638414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Taco: I'm painting DS's room "Sea Haze" this summer, I'm so excited! I love both of those green/gray shades, hope they work for you too - definitely share the swatch photos with the granite :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-suggest-paint-color-im-lost#post-1638368 Thu, 15 May 2014 20:46:41 +0000 Mrs. Coral 1638368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Beautiful kitchen. If it were mine I would go for a sage green or a French country blue. Sage green doesn't evoke the most beautiful ideas--but check out the soft green colors with just a slight hint of grey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-suggest-paint-color-im-lost#post-1638367 Thu, 15 May 2014 20:46:40 +0000 chopsuey 1638367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I &lt;3 light gray </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-suggest-paint-color-im-lost#post-1638366 Thu, 15 May 2014 20:46:35 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1638366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Oh it's going to happen :silly: . Sooner rather than later...if we can just get the 1st floor tackled, I'll be happy. We did paint the bathroom off the kitchen a very light blueish grey, it looks great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-suggest-paint-color-im-lost#post-1638363 Thu, 15 May 2014 20:45:47 +0000 Bao 1638363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Taco: maybe you could post some pics of the swatches up against the counter/backsplash once you get them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-suggest-paint-color-im-lost#post-1638357 Thu, 15 May 2014 20:44:13 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1638357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keepcalmcarrie: I'll def pick up those swatches, thank you! The idea of green/grey sounds lovely, there are some beautiful flecks of glassy sea foam green in the granite! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-suggest-paint-color-im-lost#post-1638356 Thu, 15 May 2014 20:44:01 +0000 Bao 1638356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Taco: I don't think so....but worse case you just paint the rest of the rooms :P kidding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-suggest-paint-color-im-lost#post-1638351 Thu, 15 May 2014 20:42:43 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1638351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: It really depends on the lighting. In daylight, it's more tan, but at night, it gets this horrible greenish/yellow. I hate it...whyyyy someone would repaint the whole house this color in preparation for sale is beyond me! (I guess we bought the house though? haha) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-suggest-paint-color-im-lost#post-1638339 Thu, 15 May 2014 20:40:18 +0000 swedishfish 1638339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Taco: is the current color more yellow or more tan? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-suggest-paint-color-im-lost#post-1638334 Thu, 15 May 2014 20:37:17 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 1638334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my favorite colors is Benjamin Moore's "Wickham Gray" if you're looking for a very soft gray/blue (I think that would be pretty with the shade of your backsplash and counters, but it depends on your natural light). Two nice shades of soft gray/green are BM Sea Haze or BM Gray Wisp. Two very pretty shades of white for walls and/or trim are BM "Cloud White" and BM "White Dove." </p> <p>I love paint colors :) Good luck with your decision! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-suggest-paint-color-im-lost#post-1638317 Thu, 15 May 2014 20:34:04 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1638317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: @Bao: I love light grey! Do you think it would clash with the current color (since it's going to stay in the adjoining rooms)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-suggest-paint-color-im-lost#post-1638305 Thu, 15 May 2014 20:30:46 +0000 Bao 1638305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a light gray would look nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-suggest-paint-color-im-lost#post-1638301 Thu, 15 May 2014 20:29:40 +0000 swedishfish 1638301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tysonja: ooohhh, I agree with the light gray. </p> <p>@Mrs. Taco: our kitchen is blue - I think it's Waterfall by Martha Stewart. I :heart: the color. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-suggest-paint-color-im-lost#post-1638297 Thu, 15 May 2014 20:28:56 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1638297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tidybee: Didn't even think about that, good idea!</p> <p>@tysonja: I want a bright white, my husband says we need "color"...blah, I need to find other ways to introduce color outside of paint. I love a crisp, light paint. Luckily, we already have freshly painted white molding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-suggest-paint-color-im-lost#post-1638283 Thu, 15 May 2014 20:26:32 +0000 tysonja 1638283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>looks good!! :) if it were my kitchen I'd go with bright white or light grey with bright white mouldings and trim. but those are always my two go-to 'colours'! :) it would really brighten up the place and take away the yellowish cast :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-suggest-paint-color-im-lost#post-1638280 Thu, 15 May 2014 20:26:14 +0000 Tidybee 1638280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im bad at this. But maybe you want to post on Houzz.com? I see some great ideas on there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-suggest-paint-color-im-lost#post-1638246 Thu, 15 May 2014 20:18:25 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1638246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As the title describes, we need help choosing a paint color. We recently redid the kitchen counters and backsplash but have NO idea what color to go with. The WHOLE house is covered in this yellowish tan so we are going to tackle it one room at a time.</p> <p>Any ideas/inspiration would be greatly appreciated :grin: </p> [attach=4148/14/n5n7mr.600x450.20140513_152245_resized.jpg] [attach=4148/14/n5n7mt.600x450.20140513_151555_resized.jpg] [attach=4148/14/n5n7mw.450x600.20140329_104410_resized.jpg] [attach=4148/14/n5n7my.450x600.20140513_151616_resized.jpg]
