stuckincincy Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I'm leaning toward a shade of green. Can't decide between light or dark though. A lighter green is ok. I advise against a darker green for several technical, paint formulation reasons...a criteria called "hiding power" is one of them, which relates to today's formulations that are now sans certain inorganic pigments.

I have a darker shade of green in 2 rooms...but I use Aura by BM. http://www.benjaminmoore.com/bmpsweb/porta...sitory%2F518032 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PushthePile Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Just stripped some horrible wallpaper form a few rooms in my house and I have to pick some paint colors. I am the farthest thing from a home decorator and live by myself. Any ideas or resources that can help me pick some nice color combos? I am resigned to the fact that Camo might hurt the resale value and isn't that trendy. Sherwin Williams staffs interior designers that will come out to your home and assist you with color schemes.
