We (make no mistake, that's a "Royal" WE) have been agonising over the paint colour that will grace the living room, dining room and our bedroom since we moved in.
Choosing the colours for the kitchen and bathroom and the girls' rooms were not particularly burdensome. Checked out a few colours and the right ones just stuck...
Sexy Pink, Lemon Pie, Willow Tree, etc. just seemed to work. I guess because they are bolder colours and isolated to one room made it easier. I could have been happy with at least four of them...but Paulster and I couldn't agree until now.
Somehow, getting the right shade of tan/brown/beige is as difficult as describing it. A bit like Goldilocks trying to find the right porridge [oatmeal] or the right bed. Each sample was either too dark, too pink, too grey, or too yellow.
Here's a picture of the wall where we've been comparing the samples:
The red and purple colours will be "feature walls"--so the basic colour needs to complement them.
Finally, after eleven. COUNT THEM E-L-E-V-E-N testers, we found a winner. It's called Chateau--which will give you no concept of the colour it actually is.
So, I guess this means that we no longer have any excuses for NOT getting on with the painting...
