Basement color help please!!

15 years ago

We are remodeling the basement, and it's come time to select the paint colors. Here's what we have:

carpet: http://www.carpet-wholesale.com/item_142562/Rolls_Of_Carpet/Coronet/Easy_As_Pie/Creamsicle.php

cabinets: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10141448/#/70038368/

sectional sofa: color is a moss green, very similar in color to BM 518 (on the same color strip as Baby Turtle).

I need three coordinating colors, Benjamin Moore brand. One in the green family for the largest section of the basement. This color will be closest to the cabinets. I was thinking BM 514 Flowering Herb, which looks great with the carpet. I need a second color for the TV area, where the sectional will be, and will be seen from the rest of the basement. Something yellow, or taupe??

The last color is for the powder room, which also has a medium brown colored vanity and a neutral counter top and tile floor. I was thinking of a nice red? Any recommendations for a non-fire engine red? Any other thoughts for the powder room?

Lastly, the only natural light will come from one small window in the sectional sofa area. The rest of the lighting will be recessed CF, so the lighting will be pretty consistent throughout the day.

The painter wants to come in the next week or so, so time is of the essence in selecting my colors. Thanks for any and all help/advice!
