I'm color illiterate. I have few if any artistic skills. However, I have had success with those color schemes that paint companies put out. Landed on one based on the white I was using. We need a color for an accent wall which is almost entirely a giant picture window. This is my husband's house. The paint colors were a greenish teal with beige trim but it's been over 60 years since it was last painted. It is tongue and groove even on the ceiling so even when I go over it with a roller, I still have to paint it with a brush. To make matters worse, we have 43 windows in the house almost all of which are those twelve paned jobs. Each one has to be cleaned and painted. We already had them restored on the exterior. I intend to use the same trim paint color for all of the windows and the doors.
Landed on Silky Bamboo for the trim. It's a very pale beige. I'm happy with that. The original beige is much darker so this works without it being too white.
I meant for the walls and ceiling to be Elegant White off of the color scheme. It's almost too white but I can go with the Silky Bamboo instead. Then I wanted the accent wall in the living room to be a dark aqua, again off of the color scheme. I've been sitting here staring at it for a couple of hours and it is not growing on me. Meanwhile, my husband took one look at it and now wants the entire living room that color.
What would you do? Paint the rest of the accent wall and see what it looks like or ditch it now and try for something else, like a darker blue? Or stare at it some more while working on the Silky Bamboo areas?
