I love the smoky blue/steel greys with a chocolate brown. It's also a very "in" combination right now.

However, I worry that they are too cool for your warm wall and carpet colors.

The walls are actually much much lighter than the picture gives them credit for. It's not a dark room.

I wasn't saying they were dark, just warm (tonally).

True, it is a warm room. It was so big and stark and white before we painted it that color.

Hmm I think this is the actual color of your rooms, right Escapee? 3999982

Taking liberties here...I'll leave the call to Escapee. Oh, sorry, I lowered the family portrait.

Hey Vee, can you lighten up the room, too? It's the same color as the dining room above the pillows.

Yep, the picture could come down a little - in line with the words Live Laugh Love.

Urgrace, I wish I could, but that would be quite a challenge with my simple program. Escapee, how does your room read? Is it that warm color the way the light is or is it actually lighter?

what are the colours in the rooms that join this room? what about the brown and the colour of the wall in the pillows?

Yes the pictures look better lowered.

The pillows she picked are perfect. Thanks for making the room more the right color, Skootz. That helped a lot.

Skootz, by lightening you changed the color values of everything in the room and not just wall color. My question, Escapee, is if that is how the room actually reads or if the camera didn't accurately record the proper color values. Which picture captures the best values as they are and not as you wish them to be?

This room is the same color as the dining room that Escapee posted and I reposted, I think.

Yes, that's the most true color to the rooms. Whatever accent I go with I will also paint that color in my kitchen, which is currently white.

Help. Someone I know is redoing a guest bedroom, and the curtains are sheer pastel pink with a pink satin scalloped valance. The Oriental rug is multi-colored with a lot of blue, burgandy, red, green, black and beige. I tried to pick a picture of a rug with nearly the same colors and busy pattern and a picture of pink curtains in the same hue for design purposes here. She also has a painting of a woman wearing burgandy to put on the wall. The walls are also a lighter shade of pink. She does not want to do burgandy.

Please look at the photos and see if there is something you think would be the best choice of colors for her to outfit her bed with. There are a few with patterns, to choose from too. Or if you know of one that works better, please post it.

I like Waterlily and Sandalwood but I'm trying to figure out why she has sheer pink curtains with that rug.

Mocha, I tried to talk her into removing one or the other, but she's not budging. She has a burgandy scarf draped with the pink and one burgandy wall right now, but she's taking that out. I don't blame her because the colors in the rug don't go with the burgandy, but they don't go pastel pink either.

Exactly. I'd keep the rug, if she has to, and ditch the pink curtains. I'd pick up probably a very light beigy color.
