Yesterday’s put up concerning the 4 coloration choices for the studio again entry partitions didn’t make clear something for me. (In the event you missed that put up, and didn’t see the 4 coloration choices, you’ll be able to see them right here.) There was a particular winner. The gang favourite was unmistakably Behr Scallion.
And I used to be wonderful with it. I used to be gearing as much as paint my partitions Behr Scallion…till I walked into the room round 6:00pm yesterday and noticed the pattern colours on the wall in pure gentle at the moment of day. It was instantly a tough no from me. That inexperienced that seemed so good and unmistakably inexperienced in the course of the brightest a part of the day had changed into a darkish, muddy, brownish inexperienced. I do know that type of inexperienced could be very fashionable proper now, but it surely’s not fashionable in my home and to my eyes in any respect.
In order that was disappointing. The opposite greens weren’t any higher, so all the greens are out. And since I’m clearly not 100% bought on the Classic Velvet coloration both, I made a decision to start out performing some mock ups based mostly on the ideas that I discovered within the feedback on yesterday’s put up. And my goodness, did y’all have ideas! ?
I couldn’t mock up each single certainly one of them, and actually, most of the ideas have been the identical or variations on a theme. So I’ll share those that caught my consideration.
Lots of you steered portray the partitions the cupboard coloration. I really actually like this! I do marvel if it might find yourself being an excessive amount of of an excellent factor, although. Or perhaps it might carry stability to the room with the again entry partitions and the cupboards on the other facet of the room being the got here coloration. It’s laborious for me to inform. An excessive amount of? Or nice stability?
A number of individuals steered portray the partitions a lighter model of the cupboard coloration. That might be one thing like this…
After which a few individuals steered going a darker shade of the cupboard coloration. I really actually love this.
So many individuals steered colours within the gold, greenish yellow, citron households. Right here’s a greenish yellow…
This one is extra of a buttery yellow…
After which a more true gold coloration…
And right here’s one which’s extra of a citron coloration…
Subsequent up, there have been a number of ideas for colours within the orange and peach coloration vary. That is in all probability as orange as I might go…
And this can be a little lighter…
After which just a little lighter nonetheless…
Subsequent up have been the blue and teal ideas. These teal flowers which can be on the highest left fringe of the material (are these even flowers?) aren’t as outstanding or daring as the opposite colours, however that’s the place I obtained the blue-green coloration that’s on the partitions of the studio (which I’m prepared to repaint, by the way in which). So right here’s a really gentle blue-green. It virtually appears blue-gray.
After which right here’s just a little darker blue-green…
After which even darker…
And naturally, a number of individuals steered more true and lighter purples. The issue is that I’m very specific about purples, and I solely actually like purples which have a whole lot of blue in them, or purples which can be actually deep. As soon as we begin venturing into the sunshine purples, lilacs, periwinkles, and so forth., I’m not a fan. These simply remind me of Easter egg colours, and I don’t like them in giant portions in my home. However since they have been steered many instances, I believed I’d do mock ups anyway.
Right here’s a medium-light purple…
And right here’s one which’s extra within the lilac vary…
And an excellent lighter lilac coloration…
I’m positive I might have completed extra, however they might have simply been variations of the above themes. I believe I’ve just about exhausted the primary ideas. So what stands out to you? Any of those?
I do need to word that (1) white partitions within the again entry should not an possibility, and (2) portray the partitions within the studio is an possibility, and I’d really think about white for the studio partitions.
