The Problem with knowing what color you want to paint a room is actually finding that color. It took seven sample colors to find one we approved of for the guest room… Which had been painted dark reddish orange. We liked the orange it definitely grew on us but it was just too dark for us. Now It is a color match to Benjamin Moore; I believe called August Sunrise. We are very familiar with the paint department at the home depot on Oregon Ave now.

#2,3,& 4: too yellow, too washed out and our sample color deck

#5,6, & 7: left- very lovely but too dark; right- terracotta but too dark

Well in the end we went with #6… Very bold and rich. Here’s part of what we accomplished this evening… Cutting in…

Picking paint is hard!
