(BM Cloud White or BM Mayonaise)<br /><br />Its so neutral that it won't clash with anything, so you can go super bold with an accent wall or art. <br /><br />The downside is that it doesn't really make anything 'pop' either. Edgecomb on its own can read boring and a little cold. <br /><br />Spring for the test pots. I spent over $100 on test pots when painting our house, but when you're spending way more on that for paint and painters its worth it. Some of my favorite colors in the store or on a chip looked dreadful in the light of our house.<br /><br />A fantastic bedroom color is Montgomery White, also from BM - its actually more like a warm light yellow, but is very cheerful and sunny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810059685685643880.post-90502675514415878102009-10-19T12:52:50.209-05:002009-10-19T12:52:50.209-05:00I'm thinking you should stick with the neutral...I'm thinking you should stick with the neutral warmer tones-maybe less dark brown and more light yellowy. Although, I like greens too. I agree that you'll feel a little too Chicago cold & cloudy with the New Yorky grey look.Robinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810059685685643880.post-90642697059049672352009-10-18T15:33:32.781-05:002009-10-18T15:33:32.781-05:00We had our house mostly painted by a professional....We had our house mostly painted by a professional. We were painting in Dec. I must have lost my mind because we painted our dining area cranberry and the rest of the downstairs a cool green. It felt like the "christmas house" all year. When my husband went out of town, I painted the dining area "bread basket beige"...I feel so much better now. Colored walls are great, just be careful about the combinations. Add color somewhere :)HTHreally.trulyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14839089331137392815noreply@blogger.com
