Need paint color

8 years ago
last modified: 8 years ago

Trying to find a nice blue, blue/gray or even deep blue for living room. The closeup of the rug reads more of a green/blue but the overall look does not... having a hard time deciding. The room is south facing and gets a ton of light. Any suggestions??

    Load that close up of your rug into some of the major paint company apps to pick a color from it. You can take it lighter or darker if you wish. You can also load up the entire room and "painit" the walls with the suggested colors to "try" them on.
