Help Me Pick A Paint Color!

amandaf6383 · November 2013

Please! This is my foyer:

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:

Behr Cinnamon Spice

Behr Peanut Butter

Behr Pepper Spice

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

Bleached Denim (Living Room/Dining Room)

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

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 love the Cinnamon Spice color!

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 love the pepper spice! I think it would be a great statement while still being neutral.

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 bleached Denim or Dusty Olive!! It's a little color POP when you walk into the house.

I'm so happy your getting started on this!!!

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!

I'm going off the grid and suggesting Dark Ash

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 like the bleached denim color but I love blue so I'm partial!

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.

Pepper spice is number one on my list, but the blue is a close second.

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).

Cinnamon Spice

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?

Arabian Sands

Oat Cake

What do you think of Cinnamon on bottom and Arabian Sands on top?

Paint Picking is SO HARD!

LuckyAngel07 · November 2013

It might just be my monitor, but both of those look really pink to me!

nberg89 · November 2013

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

You've been warned: I suck at paint colors.

But, if I had to choose, I like the Peanut Butter one.

I agree with this. but if you do decide to get it lightened get a sample first because colors can dramatically change when lightened!

Xan921 · November 2013

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.

theteno · November 2013

I like the pepper spice, dark olive color, and wheat toast you chose!

We're painting too. This is paint weekend at our house as I'm off from work Thurs and Fri. Good luck with your project!

LuckyAngel07 · November 2013

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.
