Meg, where are you located? Can you have a paint color mixed for you, or do you have no choice other than "color wheel" paints available?

I love color but I also like monochromatic and neutral color schemes. When I go neutral, I add lots of texture or some glitz with shiny objects. My cream and dark brown master suite is decorated with lots of gold and silver. It's lovely and calming. Tip: if you want to see different color schemes just search by color in houzz, i.e., blue bedroom

Benjamine Moore....but the company will use whatever I want....I am at the final stage, I live in MN and house is in Colorado....We built a horse barn about 50 yards from the house so have to stay with same color tones

I like the idea of the gray for the body of the house with the trim and windows painted white. A bright red door for a "POP" of color would finish it off. If you would like to see how this might look check my web site, Creative Visual Concepts. I do mock ups to show people how their houses might look with different colors, etc.
