stephanier.1765 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 For me, it's light blue. It's been too many years for me to remember the color name but I love it as much today as when it was freshly painted, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarita Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Lavender - hard to say though because I don't know what's in your room. I really like bold Easter/pastel paint colors, but it has to mesh with the furniture and flooring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) For me this depends on the period of your house, your trim, your furniture, windows/lighting, your bedding? But if we're picking randomly, I'm going with a sage green. Edited October 18, 2023 by catz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resilient Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Pick some that compliments your skin tone and works with the natural light and the lighting sources. And the house style and location too. I’m using gorgeous coastal colors now that would have looked out of place in my former location. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eos Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 My living room is a warm nasturtium, which is the opposite of fashionable gray-beige. It makes me happy though. https://www.myperfectcolor.com/paint/66137-sherwin-williams-sw6899-nasturtium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popmom Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Maybe a soft green like Clary Sage from SW. I was going to say light blue, too. 🙂 If you already have a lot of color in your house, would something neutral be an option? My daughter’s room is BM Gray Owl with an accent wall that is a very dark charcoal gray. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corraleno Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) My favorite bedroom color is SW Sea Salt, which is a grayish-blueish-green that changes a lot in different light. BM Healing Aloe is similar but very slightly greener. Very soothing and pretty with white trim, and also looks great with all wood tones.

I used Sea Salt full strength In my south-facing laundry room, where it looks great, but in my east-facing bedroom it looked dull gray, so I had Sherwin Williams mix it with a lower tint (maybe 50%?) which came out exactly like the photo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree—depends on lighting. I love those colors, too. We painted another dd’s room (her home at college) sea salt. I will say… it was lighter—more subtle than I was expecting. Another similar color I have used in a bedroom is called rainwashed by SW. it’s a slightly deeper silvery blue green. We had Dd3’s bedroom painted that color when we had dd4’s painted gray owl. I chose rainwashed for our master bedroom in a previous house. Still Love it. Edited October 19, 2023 by popmom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super relaxing. I tried Sea Salt in one of our rooms and it set my nerves jangling. I could feel myself tensing up every time I walked in that room. And I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it for those who like it, just that colors really do affect us, and everybody has to figure out what works for them. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I don't remember what it is called, and am too lazy to go look it up. But when we moved into our house, we painted the master in the lightest sage in that set. It looks almost white (you'd never walk in and say, "Oh, this is sage") except in comparison to the white trim, so it's very subtle. It is such a lovely, restful room. Currently, I might would go with one shade darker, but I still love it as is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn in al Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 The colors I really like(d). For my the master bedroom, eucalyptus. I did have New England yellow in the main areas but got tired of it and now have a beige, slightly yellow neutral. My daughters bedroom had a beautiful spring lavender from valspar until she felt she outgrew it and changed it to a light blue/grey. My all time favorite is Sherwin Williams Clary sage I have in my kitchen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I agree that so much depends on you, your house, and your lighting. I had a long, long streak of loving blue/green/grey like the Sea Salt, Comfort Grey, and other colors mentioned above....but one of the houses I stayed in this summer had a soft marigold yellow bedroom and a soft coral bedroom (probably pretty close to Benjamin Moore Sunlit Coral but a bit deeper) and they really worked for the house and decor. Pick what makes your heart sing and feels like a refuge to you. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corraleno Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 3 hours ago, Scarlett said: Is this your bedroom? Beautiful room. No, I wish I had that many windows and that much light! The overall vibe of my room is very similar to the photo, though: Sea Salt walls, white trim & ceiling, white linen curtains, white linen bedding plus a cotton quilt in a Sea Salt color a shade darker than the walls, antique night tables, a Persian-style rug (muted blue-green, off-white, beige, tan), and a set of antique prints of birds eggs in the same shades as the rug. It's my favorite room in the house because it's upstairs and faces the backyard so it's totally private and when I'm sitting in bed all I see are trees, sky, and birds. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbutton Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Blues and beiges (some griege, but definitely warmer side). If I knew how to choose good greens, I would like those. For something besides a beige, I like to choose textiles first and then get paint that looks good with it. Lighting rules it all. I tape several paint chips together and check them all around the room multiple times during the day and evening. I had paint once that was gorgeous at night and was a totally different color the rest of the day (pea soup). It was really sad, sigh.

Halftime Hope Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 For the warm, barely-cream lovers here, I have tried and tried to pick a color other than the barely warm cream (SW marshmallow) in my house, but nothing pleases us all more than that. It's warmer than austere white, but not very creamy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I love dramatic colors in cozy spaces. My master has a dark purpley- brown color accent wall. This isn’t my room in the pix but the feeling is similar. Warm taupe/ creamy walls and similar color lush bedding. Padded headboard, outdoor statuary on walls, dark earthy green drapes. Cobalt blue vase with large peachy-pink flowers. The dark colors are all earthy and because they are all muted don’t stand out on their own. Lots of plants and decor from nature. Large art on one wall is black and cream floral painting. Dd says it is Mid-Summer’s Night theme…. She is right. It has really does have a feeling of being outdoors at twilight. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KungFuPanda Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) I have Sea Salt in my living room. I love the way it changes throughout the day. When I looked up colors to go with it I found Divine White. It's not white, but a nice, warm cream that's not yellow. I put that in my kitchen. (I think I had them change the saturation a few times before it was just right for me.) It's nice with a white trim and is both light and warm. I want to repaint my guestroom, but I think I've hit my quota of blue and green rooms. I'll have to do something else in there. I can't decide. It face southwest. ETA: It occurs to me that I don't have any white rooms in my house and it might be nice in a guest room. I can load it up with plants too . . . maybe go a llittle boho chic.

Halftime Hope Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 So I like the sea salt. One of our kid's BR has similar but slightly less gray undertones, along with a slightly darker very-light-teal on the ceiling. The second kid BR has a super-light grayish blue called ice or igloo or similar; ds picked it out. I'd like a variation on Sea salt that was blue-based, instead of green-based. any recommendations? I'm Team Blue, not team green. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaybee Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I like the one you posted. It's lovely. I agree that I'd take out the blue and just give it a fresh look. If blue is a color you love, change the shade, maybe go lighter. I was a little off-base in the one I mentioned for our master ; I found our paint cards. It is Valspar's 6008-1B, Shoreline Haze. It is neutral enough to go with almost anything. The others on the card, Country Whitewash 1A, and Soft Stones, 1C, are also lovely. You need something light in a small bedroom so that it doesn't close in on you, and it will also feel more cheerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
