Oh, you should really post some pictures, I know there are some here who don't need them for a visual, but the majority of folks here do. Me included! :c)

Does it feel like too much green to you? Really, that's the only question.

IMO yes, I think it is too much green.

Are you sure it's just the paint? When you say the neutrals are "boring" with the floors, perhaps wall art, rugs, accessories "etc" could bring it all up a notch? Paint does a lot for a home but it's not going to do it all by itself. The final effect comes from the finishing touches, textures et al.

Lighting is also paramount in how a color shows and in creating a certain mood. Lamps are the workhorses...they're one of the most important ingredients in creating an inviting, warm, cozy...and cheerful room. In a good sized room I think at least 4 lamps is about right.

Love to see some pix vs shooting in the dark lol. And yes...I'd probably say it's too much green...too many cool colors DO start to wear on most people I think. I had a pale creamy yellow (BM 206...maybe called Golden Straw now?) painted throughout my foyer and hallways in my last home. It was a wonderful color in all light and was adjacent to my Baby Turtle LR and watermelon DR. Very easy color to work with...worked well with the beige stair runner and other tones as well.

BTW, this was a north facing foyer so "cheerful" was hard to get...especially on the one "devil wall" as I call them. I originally tried a pale beige but it was just went too taupey and depressing.

I just noticed in the day shot the original green I tried in the LR...too blueish at the north end of the room. That's when I found the Turtle...boy, did that help.

Pix?

Amy, I know it is really hard to find just the right color to satisfy that craving for color and to still not overwhelm your home with green. I love greens, and as I told you on one of your other threads.....I have used several in the main part of our house and am trying to avoid overload. But it may be better to just let people reply as they will to one thread. You have several on the very same topic going and that can just get to be too much to keep up with. I just saw your new one on Paint. I thought for a moment you had a new question.....

This one has a couple of replies and jant's pretty shots of her home.......maybe you just need to get out your camera phone or your digital and add some photos here? You might start getting the responses you need.

Red - A couple of them are from times when I thought my post didn't actually post. I did put this one out there again...this morning to bring it to the top. Is there any way to bring posts to the top so people will see them? Also is there any way to delete? I would love to delete the ones on the paint thread. Thank you for replying.

I wondered if that's what happened to you, Amy! I just had that happen on a comment I made recently. It would not post so later, I went back and made another comment.....pretty much to the same purpose. And then, of course, I looked like an idiot who just kept saying the same thing!

Threads come to the top when people reply to them. If you post a comment, it will bump it up, but you can't do too much of that on your own thread.........if you know what I mean?

And to delete threads, you have to email GW. I have never done that myself. Don't worry about Paint, I don't think that many of us venture over there, I just wanted to make sure you got taken seriously.......

Post some pictures. You do that and you will get some comments--I'm sure of it!

jant - Your pics of your home looks fabulous. Thanks for the info. The room really does change when I bring the pictures and furniture back in. Unfortunately I'm an analyst at heart and therefore analyze everything.

Is the BM 206 color you are speaking of Summer Harvest? If so, I've read a lot of good things about that color. It's pretty.

That's funny about the 'devil' wall. You're right. the paint can look fabulous everywhere but there's always that one wall that seems to look different. I'm having that issue with the baby turtle in the family room. All other walls look great...mostly sagey. But that one 'devil' wall looks kind of olivey. I think it may be because of the grey green chair I have in front of it...or maybe the light just hits it differently. I have a love hate relationship with paint...but hey...I'm getting lots of practice painting and a respect for the professionals that do it every day.

Thx Red - I'm new to this forum stuff. I'll try to post some pics. It's just that the house is a mess due to paint, paint, paint and I don't want anyone to see it:-) BTW I think I'm painting over the fernwood with Flowering Herbs...not so light apple green. The fernwood is pretty but I just think maybe it's too green. Know what I mean?

I responded to your other thread, having some of the same colors as you. About the BT looking olive, I have the same issue in my powder room. DOesn't get much light and the overhead is not good either - one of those light/fan vent combos which needs to be replaced. In no way does it look like it does in other folks pictures - very murky olive, but I still like it. I have heard it described as brownish green, I don't see that with my lighting. Same with FH in my kitchen due to lighting. Others describe it as khaki green - in my kitchen it is pretty country-ish green - definitely green, but again, I like it. I almost forgot, I have FH in spare BR - there it does look more sagey green. They are quite the little chameleon colors, I must say.

I must say I'm so surprised reading that people see sage/blue tones in BT! LOL Having had Baby Turtle for many years, the last thing I would have ever called it was sage. That's why I chose it...the first paint I had was too sage in tone) Many friends started using it and they saw the same. To me it's definitely a yellow based/pale olive green. Not a tinge of blue/silver that I can see. If anything, in certain lights it seems to turn more beige than green...happened in one of my friend's homes.

Interestin'............lol.
