Paint Color

It wasn't an easy decision to pick out paint color.  I knew I wanted soft colors from the landscape of Provence. I wanted our dining room to be a natural green from the countryside, but not so pastel it looked like a nursery.  So I went to Sherwin Williams to pick out possible colors of green.  During this time I had consulted some decorators and contractors.  They all wanted me to do beige.  Kiln Beige was the most popular color.  I know because I asked the manager of Sherwin Williams.

"What is the most popular color?"  No matter what store I went to it was Kiln Beige.  I reverted to conformity and used that color for our guest bathroom.  It does look warm and inviting.  Let me show you all the colors I tried.  I think I must be an analytic thinker because I tried quite a few paint colors.  The colors on the family room wall were all shades of beige.  All the decorator books say to try the paint colors on the wall to see if they change in the light.  Our home was vacant after the flood and the walls were ripe to experiment.
It was a daunting task to pick just the right colors.
