Help with Paint color

17 years ago

I need help with paint color but I don't have pictures so I am asking for ideas based only on what I tell you - not the best but I thought perhaps some people might have some favorite colors I could check out.

Our painter is using BM paint - I chose many Aura colors for the house. I am an artist and I love color and usually I have a knack for choosing just the right thing - I am happy with my first choice in every room except the Master bedroom. I have had my mstr painted incorrectly twice! Only one coat but the painters are slow and dh doesn't want me to have them change it again ;-)

I started out with a deep sea blue - it was too strong - the rest of the house is in far earthier shades and it was jarring to walk into the room. I then chose what I thought was a soft sea glass blue - big miss - it is too light with not enough gray. Very cool and I want a more serene effect.

Our carpet is a tibetan wool and silk. The border is a steel gray blue - more gray than blue - the center is a shade bluer than the border and has an overall abstract vining floral pattern in celery green. THe trim is BM Swiss Coffee - so quite a bit of black in it.

Does anyone have a favorite blue gray or silver blue color? I like the tone/intensity of a silver sage but it is too green - I need the silver sage of blue!
