Any suggestion on best way to come up with color to paint interior of home.
399 sq ft park model home. Will need to paint walls and ceiling. Probably whole house same color. Ceiling needs some crack repairs but could go neutral on that.

i think whatever colors that you like & can be the background for your decor! I would recommend staying away from the darker colors which may make your space feel smaller. A light color will keep the space open which may include your lighter grays even! I would recommend something that can be wiped down or washable also!
I would go with a off-white, light beige or pale gray with a satin finish. Satin will better reflect the light and also easy to wipe down if you need to.
Since you have to paint everything, do it once. With a soft background color, you can add color and drama with curtains or rugs or accessories. Fall in love with a colorful rug, be it oriental, rag, or a great modern print. Build your decor around it.
Accessories are often inexpensively replaced, and returnable if you change your mInd.
Stick with neutrals if you're going for whole-house. Gray is a favorite trend of mine and you can find it in hundreds of hues with blue, green, and other undertones.
What colour is your furniture (browns, neutrals, blue tones)? I would look for a light or neutral colour -especially if your furniture is large and dark- that compliments your existing furniture (light blue grey/silver for black or blue toned furniture; taupe or cream for brown tones). If your furniture is predominantly neutral, you may want to add an accent wall in a bold colour with the majority of the walls being more neutral Or go with a deeper hue of a neutral colour (darker grey or taupe with white baseboard and ceiling
Your local DIY store may have a paint mixing machine, they have thousands of colours to choose from or you can take a favourite colour from an ornament or magazine and they can scan it into their computer to find the best match. I always paint my ceilings white and use a neutral colour on three walls with an accent colour on the fourth, this is then easy to change when you get bored with it
How about steel blue?
