Paint Colors for Girl's Room?

Question

I have the walls painted Whisper Yellow by Behr. I am looking to accent w/ lavenders, beiges, creams, whites. Any recommendations on brand name/paint colors?

Sometimes the Behr brand dries a bit bolder than I'd like.

Any muted colors would balance it well.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

Answer 1

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think "original white" (# 7077) and "choice cream" (# 6357) might look nice.

You can also take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions & they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.

I've used a lot of different paint brands, and I'd recommend Benjamin Moore.  

Look for a dealer in your area.  Go in, get swatches of the colors you're thinking of using, and go from there.
