The paint color on my living room wall is Benjamin Moore Dried Parsley. That's it on the right of the book case. It looks green in real life, in fact the day I painted it, I was somewhat worried that is was too green. In person in looks like dried parsley looks, green...not beige.
This is the paint in liquid form outside in natural light. Surprisingly (to me at least) it still looks beige! The lesson here is to always check your paint choice in the room where you will be painting in all of the different forms of light: natural sunlight, night time (lamplight), morning and evening light. Otherwise you could end up with a paint color very different from what you expected.
I have loved this color because even though it looks beige here, it is a cheerful green during the long winter months of grey outside. So that's another consideration for choosing your paint color, what are the seasons where you live and how do you live during those seasons? Here in beautiful Cache Valley we have long cold winters, so it's nice to have a room or two in a cheerful hue. Hey that rhymed!
Have fun looking at paint chips, bring lots and lots of them home and invest in one of those mini paint pots or even in a quart and bring it home and try it out in the room to be painted. You will be glad you did. For more on paint stay tuned...
