For example, dark brown is black to him! Secondly, he prefers home decor in grey, black or brown, a little like your hubby. We've ended up compromising on magnolia. It's boring but safe.<br /><br /><a href="http://tradesquad.blogspot.co.uk/2016/09/3-awesome-coventry-handyman-approved.html" rel="nofollow">Helene Raymond @ Trade Squad</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114269022103636471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-46524571679324305412015-04-08T23:32:26.712-04:002015-04-08T23:32:26.712-04:00Try thinking outside the paint can and consider wa...Try thinking outside the paint can and consider wallpaper, tile, or paneling. Then again, that would give you more to argue about (shape, texture, design, etc.) besides color. For the record, I would choose the color just to the upper left of the red bowling pin looking thing - if those are the only choices, otherwise some sort of soft yellow is good for a kitchen; makes it cheery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-79543136651085327202015-04-07T19:56:26.909-04:002015-04-07T19:56:26.909-04:00Tan goes with everything,I would fight for that.Tan goes with everything,I would fight for that.Csmithfamily09https://www.blogger.com/profile/16822399968326908287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-84812512505248332952015-04-07T15:22:38.750-04:002015-04-07T15:22:38.750-04:00Home Depot, Home Decorator's Collection, "...Home Depot, Home Decorator's Collection, "Desert Coral."

But I like fall colors. Also I'd go lighter if the room is small and/or there's a lot of wall space. Dark colors make a room look smaller.

At this point in your paint-picking process, I think you can figure out why.

The other colors in the house were a grayed blue green - not powder blue at all.<br /><br />Of the colors you show above I like the rusty red (more orange than cranberry). Or you could paint it gray but with some large artwork you could really break it up and make it what you want. <br /><br />Google "tan gray color scheme" and there are some nice combinations.Susan from the Pacific Northwesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06910439859917160063noreply@blogger.com
