One of our first projects when we moved in was to paint the living and dining rooms (it's really all one room) to get rid of the egg-yolk yellow walls. We used the living room rug as the anchor for the room and went with a light blue-grey color. After making throw pillows to coordinate with the walls and buying a blanket to complement the throw pillows, I decided I didn't like the blue walls (the other rooms we've painted turned out beautifully, so I guess every now and then there's a dud). Back to the drawing board - and Home Depot - I went.
I still wanted a color that was almost blue, almost grey, and almost green, so after trying many more shades, saturations, and hues, we ended up with a blue slightly greyer than the first blue. :) The walls below are half old and half new; can't you tell?!? I'd post a "after" picture, but honestly the camera can't do it justice.
We've lived with it for a few days now, and I'm loving the new blue!
