Can you help me on wall color?

Give the paint a day or two to dry, as latex deepens during drying. The carpet appears in the photo to be a blue-er gray than the warmer-toned wall paint. You may be able to tie them together with the room accents. If you want the walls to be in the same family as the carpet, take a piece of carpet with you to the paint store and find a closer color. Get several samples as you may find that your lighting is significantly different from the store's lighting.

Hi Shirley! I think it looks really nice! Nice baseboards and moldings will help you find your comfort zone with it. If you really don't like it, go with your gut, and take a sample of the carpet with you to see how they coordinate. Sample paint on the wall before committing.

I agree with you, I don't think it goes very well. Go to a paint store and get a bunch of different color cards. Tape them on the wall and go into the room at different times of day and with different kinds of weather. Remove them until you have a few you like. Then get sample pints and paint them on the wall. And do the same thing again until you have the one. That's a big room to have to keep repainting this way you make sure it goes before all of that work. This may help you decide.

Hi Shirley,

That's a good sized room!

Shore grandmom makes a good point, use the paint cards and a variety of lights, natural and artificial over a series of days to narrow down your selection. Then opt for the sample size paints. Keep your furniture in mind too.

If you take a sample of carpet to match with the paint at the store, you'll see how it will go with the paint selection in the store's lighting and not your own.

Is the new paint the lighter one or the darker one? I think the lighter one looks great.

Use a medium to dark grey ?

The simple answer is: always go with a neutral! Tape sample strips to the walls... a couple of walls... as light will "change" the colors. I look at them in the morning, afternoon and evening... Then: I start untaping those colors I don't like... you can easily narrow down choices this way.

Too matchy, go to the paint store and get samples. I like Sherwin Williams their paint swatches tell you on the back 3 different colors that will match or use with the paint

Well we decided to change/repaint the room using linen white from Benjamin Moore. Def like it better! Thanks for everyones advice!
