THANK YOU! Need honest opinions (nursery colors)
I need honest Novembie opinions here...I'm not great at picking colors.
Are these colors ok for a neutral nursery? I plan on having solid color bedding in a cream color, cream curtains, and will accent with other colors (blues/greens, or purples/pinks) once the baby arrives and we know what the sex is.
There's 2 shades of periwinkle. Should I go lighter or darker? The room gets East and South sun, so it is a brighter room.

This is the inspiration. It is a wolf cub. We will be hanging more real baby animal pics on the walls. Hopefully i can find some with more of the grassy green colors too.

Re: THANK YOU! Need honest opinions (nursery colors)
ITA.
well - crap. I am stuck. I can't do green b/c dh and i have a green bedroom just across the hall - and I don't want to be the "house with green bedrooms", My kitchen is yellow, so that is out too.
Maybe I'll just paint the walls a soft tan, have cream bedding & curtains, and add color later.
Sometimes I wish we were finding out the sex.
Thanks for the honesty. It looks like the vote is nearly split on the darker/lighter thing too...

They're definitely not purple. I was worried that they were too blue.
Back to the Sherwin Williams store...I need a new idea.

Do you play around with colors online?
I know Benjamin Moore's site lets you do that... I'm sure the SW store could color match if you loved something or get it close...
GL!
I know you ruled out yellow, but I really like this color...
I dont see why you cant do green and yellow...just do different shades!
My living room, kitchen and hallway are all the same green and I think it looks fine!
There are other gender neutral colors as well, like orange paired with grey would look awesome!
You are all very wise.
I talked to DH (he was wavering on the periwinkle all along) and we agreed that perhaps soft yellow walls, cream curtains, and a soft green patterned bedding pattern would work.
Thank you for the advice and tips. I really have a hard time planning rooms and I end up with really awkward combinations - as you can see!
We also agreed that we have time to figure this all out. I was freaking b/c friends and family had been repeatedly asking me about nursery colors and what we were planning - and I didn't have a plan. At 16 weeks...I don't really need a plan yet. We have time!
Kristy - I was planning on getting wall letters from you once baby has a name!
