Help Me Pick A Paint Color!

Please! This is my foyer:

image

image

Sorry for the huge-normous pictures. Anywho. The top grey/blue color is too cement-like and cold for our liking. I want to keep the neutral color on the bottom (if possible/looks good with chosen color) but change the top. These are what I like so far:

image
Behr Cinnamon Spice

image
Behr Peanut Butter

image
Behr Pepper Spice

To give you a full idea, the other colors on the first floor are:

image
Bleached Denim (Living Room/Dining Room)

image
Wheat Toast - Under the new color and also in our second living area

image
Dusty Olive (Kitchen)

Tell me which selection you like - or suggest another color! The only requirement is that it is a Behr color; Tom and I are obsessed with their paint & primer in one. :-)

    I like the pepper spice one the best. I think it's a very warm color but also has a little bit of a 'muddy' tone to it which I think would play nice with the colors you already have going on.

  • I like the pepper spice but it's so dark.  I would do that color but 2 shades lighter.  Paint always looks so much darker on the wall.

  • I like the pepper spice as well.  Peanut butter would be my second choice.  I think they both go great with the other colors.  The cinnamon spice is a little too dark, IMO. Good luck!

  • Of the colors listed, the PB would be my choice. But I prefer a muted green tone to go with the Wheat Toast base color, similar to that Olive shade you have elsewhere, but not exactly the same color.

  • I love the Cinnamon Spice, with the Pepper Spice a close second. The cinnamon spice is a little warmer, and I think it goes with the other colors you have really well.

  • I think all 3 colours are too brown to go well with the wheat toast colour on the bottom that looks more grey but out of them pepper spice would be the best 'match.'

  • What about Pepper Spice on the bottom and Peanut Butter on Top and up the stairs??

    If you're considering that switch, I think I'd like the Cinnamon Spice better than the Pepper Spice (gives it a little extra warmth and pop than the Pepper Spice does, being more brown).

    I love the pepper spice, but I would go with something a with a little less yellow/orange tinge than the PB.  Something a bit more beige like Arabian Sands or Oat Cake?

  • I think you should do Peanut butter with an accent wall of Pepper Spice in the foyer. Make the stair wall your accent!  :)

  • I like the pepper spice but it's so dark.  I would do that color but 2 shades lighter.  Paint always looks so much darker on the wall.

    I agree with this. but if you do decide to get it lightened get a sample first because colors can dramatically change when lightened!
  • I don't like the peanut butter with the pepper spice but I agree with LuckyAngel07 that the two lighter colors look pink to me, but it could just be my monitor.

  • Now that I'm on my work computer and not my home computer, the Arabian Sands and Oat Cake don't look nearly as pink. I prefer the Oat Cake over Arabian Sands, and I think either would look great over Cinnamon Spice.
