Quick Paint Question

10 years ago

I could really use some help with a paint color. I used Ben Moore "Dijon 193" in my dining room, and I really like it, FINALLY. I'm looking for a coordinating color for my living room with similar undertone. I selected a few but don't know if they are right, which is where I need help. I've made lots of mistakes, and my husband will be very upset if I do it again, so any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
Will these coordinate with "Dijon?"
Ben Moore "Spice Gold 1040" or
Ben Moore "Tyler Taupe HC 43?"
Thanks very much for your time and help :)

Not sure if this helps, but I found this on the BM web site....http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/cc-210

I'm a little OCD when it comes to paint colors and generally will get a sample mixed up and put it on a large piece of poster board to see how it looks in the room and at different times of the day. I just discovered my local Ace H'ware store will mix up a paint can of any color for about $5.00.

Great idea. I'll give that a try in my kitchen also.
