How do I choose paint colors?
by

I posted a question regarding a painting issue and used the wrong color description. My kitchen is Agave and I need to paint my office and foyer/hallway. Any suggestions? The office doesn't meet with the kitchen, but would like a slate of colors that are connected. Thanks!

go to a paint store and get the paint strips for the agave color, they should be all in the same color wave. darker to lighter.

Cheryl is right. Look to patterns and existing colors. Create a composition of continuity. Need a patter of at least 5 colors to make your life and choices easy.
