@LuLu Mom: it looks like a pretty intense colour but it depends on your taste... can you get sample pots? I learned the hard way they are the best things ever! It took quite a few shades the first time but since then i'm better at gaging how colours will read in my house.

I would try blushing brilliance which is a few shades lighter.. it will still go with the coral but won't be quite so in your face. if you want to do a shelf or basket or pillow in Coral reef to help tie it in.

I think that would look better as an accent wall - its really pretty but might be too much to have 3 walls that color

@LuLu Mom: you might be able to get them to do a half tint too... ask at the store, they might be able to recommend a shade that is lighter but reads coral.

Paradise peach is nice too...

We went for SW lighter mint, it looks almost white when rolling on but in real life it's quite mint.

I agree it would be an awesome accent wall with cream for the other three?

I would get 3 samples, toss them up this week then give yourself a few days to decide.

@LuLu Mom: I totally understand, I not a baby pink person either. I would make sure the ones you pick to try out have a lot of orange tone in them. That should help it from looking too baby pink.

Oh and sometimes going up the card to a lighter color doesn't work the way you think it would because the colorant proportions aren't the same. I've had better luck picking a darker color that I like and having them mix it at 25% or 50%, that way it has the same proportion of colorants just in a lesser amount.
