What colour are your living room walls?

[Thecatsmother17]

I have decorators due to start in mine lately and I have only just begun thinking about it!

It's currently painted in Crown Etiquette which is a blue shade. Floors are dark wood and we have white shutters. The room can get dark mid afternoon.

DH wants grey. We have a pale grey upstairs and its too cold. Is there such a thing as a warm grey?

I like jewel tones but would not be brave enough!

The colour we have now is similar to this.

We have Earthborn Sunday Stroll which is a beautiful greyish green. We have a kitchen-lounge with inglenook fireplace, original flagstones in the kitchen and (new) oak in the lounge, half underground so not a lot of natural light and the floors are reasonably dark. Works really well.

Dulux Soft Stone. We also have Gentle Fawn elsewhere in the house, which is a soft greige.

Dulux Natural Calico - because we are on the market. It's light and warm. We had Dulux Green Earth before, which in retrospect was quite cold. It is a greeny grey colour and is probably better suited to a very warm, light room. We always had tons of compliments on it, but I actually think I prefer the boring cream colour that we have now - it feels much brighter.

We've just finished decorating today and have used grey steel 4, it's a dulux mixer one. It's a very nice pale grey that's almost white, depending on the light in the room. I'm really pleased with it, looks very fresh and lie that inside of a war ship as some darker greys can be!

Living room walls are a copy/shade match of F&B skimming stone (can't recall the brand the decorator had it mixed by) for me, it's the exact shade I picture when people say "greige" as it's kind of a warm grey/taupe shade. Looks great with pure brilliant white woodwork

This is my living room with the Proud Peacock, I don't understand it too dark; it's a light dark colour if that makes sense.

Sorry, I mean I don't find it too dark, not understand. Don't know where that came from.

We have Natural Hessian in our living room, hall and both sets of stairs and I love it. It's a creamy-brown colour, not quite as dark as a beige.

That's lovely Mother! It's always good to see pictures of real houses and not computer generated ones online.

That's gorgeous mothervulva, definitely putting that on my list. Very impresssd at the carefully arranged bookshelves too, did you choose the books purely for the colours?

Thanks! I got the idea for the books from Pinterest, I think it's called rainbow books. I chose from what I had to get the colours right.

Mine is a soft pale pink- I think Julie's Dream by Little Greene.

My son's room has a gorgeous deep blue/ green- Marine Blue and looks warmer than when he had Lamp Room Grey which was a really dead colour and seemed to absorb the light. So be brave about colours if you want to.
