Yesterday’s submit concerning the 4 coloration choices for the studio again entry partitions didn’t make clear something for me. (If you happen to missed that submit, 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 mild 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 form of inexperienced could be very in style proper now, but it surely’s not in style in my home and to my eyes in any respect.
In order that was disappointing. The opposite greens weren’t any higher, so the entire greens are out. And since I’m clearly not 100% bought on the Classic Velvet coloration both, I made a decision to start out doing a little mock ups based mostly on the options that I discovered within the feedback on yesterday’s submit. And my goodness, did y’all have options! 😀
I couldn’t mock up each single certainly one of them, and actually, most of the options had been the identical or variations on a theme. So I’ll share those that caught my consideration.
Lots of you instructed portray the partitions the cupboard coloration. I truly actually like this! I do marvel if it might find yourself being an excessive amount of of factor, although. Or perhaps it might deliver steadiness 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 steadiness?
A number of individuals instructed portray the partitions a lighter model of the cupboard coloration. That may be one thing like this…
After which a few individuals instructed going a darker shade of the cupboard coloration. I truly actually love this.
So many individuals instructed 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 options for colours within the orange and peach coloration vary. That is in all probability as orange as I may go…
And this can be a little lighter…
After which just a little lighter nonetheless…
Subsequent up had been the blue and teal options. 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 acquired the blue-green coloration that’s on the partitions of the studio (which I’m prepared to repaint, by the best way). So right here’s a really mild blue-green. It virtually appears to be like blue-gray.
After which right here’s just a little darker blue-green…
After which even darker…
And naturally, a number of individuals instructed more true and lighter purples. The issue is that I’m very explicit about purples, and I solely actually like purples which have lots of blue in them, or purples which can be actually deep. As soon as we begin venturing into the sunshine purples, lilacs, periwinkles, and many others., I’m not a fan. These simply remind me of Easter egg colours, and I don’t like them in massive portions in my home. However since they had been instructed 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 a good lighter lilac coloration…
I’m certain I may have achieved extra, however they’d have simply been variations of the above themes. I feel I’ve just about exhausted the principle options. So what stands out to you? Any of those?
I do wish to observe that (1) white partitions within the again entry are usually not an possibility, and (2) portray the partitions within the studio is an possibility, and I’d truly contemplate white for the studio partitions.
