Top picture is called MARS RED (my phone camera doesn’t show true colors).
And the top color in the pics aren’t even close to the correct color. Lol
Paint Colors.. I can’t make up my mind

I need some help.. I can’t make up my mind. I’m gonna paint my living room 3 colors. I brought home a bunch of color swatches & have got it down to this - I love the Top & bottom colors.
The top color is a light blue-green & the bottom is obvious, blue. My question is on the middle color. It’s gonna be about 6” in height, in between top/bottom.
The color on the left is called “Tribal Pottery”, it looks like chocolate milk. The color on the right is called “Mars Red” & looks like dark clay, it actually does look like a picture of mars.
Which color looks better in the middle. I like both colors... Also, my shelves/coffee/end tables are outlined in black with glass tops. I’m planning on a Beach theme with scattered family pictures on the walls, as well. Don’t know if that’s any help.
This color is called TRIBAL POTTERY. Looks just like chocolate milk.
Päint swatches never give the true color. Buy the small paint samples now available änd paint a 12x12 square to see true color. Light and surface being päinted will make a difference.
Try a different color instead of dark blue maybe a burnt orange.
I like the tribal pottery. I agree I would try burnt orange instead of the blue
i had that color of brown...had. it made my bath feel really small and closed in. i couldn't find a light bulb that didn't make it look like hurled chocolate milk.
This might be fun to play with: https://coolors.co/
Choosing colors can be a very individual preference. I'm kinda old, but I remember having a shirt with those colors in it when I was a kid!
You might want to give a look at different colors schemes on Pinterest:

Like here's one with blues and browns similar to what you have:

Here, I searched for turquoise and brown color schemes:

Or maybe you could google for brown and turquoise or teal room images and they may list paint brands and names.
It is so hard to give good advice. To be honest, both browns look alike. I can tell you this: when choosing paint colors, work with the chips. However far down you go on a paint chip, you should go down just as far with your other colors. For example, if you pick a color that is the second color on a paint chip, you should use the second colors with any other paint in the room. The same rule applies when choosing different shades of the same color. For example, If you want to paint a room different shades of blue, use the other blues on the same paint chip.
