Help finding coordinating paint colour

2 years ago

My 10 year old daughter is doing an update to her bedroom. She said she wants lots of "aesthetic" and when she shows me pictures, I think she means little fairy lights, potted plants, photo montage wall etc. Her furniture is all white and she wants a mural behind her bed with leaves on it. (picture below)

I suggested she paint the other 3 lights "First Light" by Benjamin Moore as it will coordinate so nicely, but she doesn't want pink walls. She wants either white or light green. I think it will be tricky to find a white that matches the mural white, so maybe a very light green will work. Any ideas for a nice light green that isn't too overpowering so she can go big on accessories and decor?

@L P thank you so much, silken pine ended up being perfect. Room is really coming together - we are going to hit up Ikea this weekend for some fairy lights, a standing mirror and a few more plants but she is SO happy. I love it, I still see her little girl style but with a more ”tween/teen” vibe

is the mural a preprinted wall paper? If so the white of the wall paper can be matched to any paint for the other three walls.

Suggest white walls and shouldn’t be hard to match up.

Benjamin Moore Silken Pine and Healing Aloe are soft greens. If you want to go lighter or darker just look at the suggested shades on the color detail page. There are some whites also with just a hintnof green. I love that you are letting your 10 yr old daughter direct her space!
