color crisis!!!

just got back from a test run of colors for our house. so many colors... and shades of colors... And what I thought was going to look great, doesn't. Colors are clashing. And now I'm second-guessing all my original color choices. I've always loved a bright color palette, but now, never has a sea of beige seemed more appealing--and safe. so confused!

must stop staring at color swatches and go to bed. goodnight!

Congrats on your new place, guys! So exciting! And yeah, I totally know what you're going through with colors. We went through the same thing and in the end, we used Color Smart on the Behr website to help us find which colors go with the colors we selected. Hope that helps. Have fun painting!

yeah, we recently discovered color smart, and it does help... but everything looks so different in our room. or perhaps i'm just being waaayy particular about it!

You could always fall back on trusty white for the walls... and pink carpets and blinds.
