If you wanted to go dark, maybe Rookwood Shutter Green. I like it with the floor color.

Hi, I’ve been following along on your other threads and love seeing the updates of it all coming together.
I found this photo and thought I’d share. It’s similar to Waterloo that you like.

Love this one

BM Salamander

Oh that salamander is a pretty color. I want to stay with SW because they're local/easily accessible. 

Marlene, what's that blue color?

SW Deep Sea Dive is pretty too

I think I had missed you and hubby liking Still Water and Water Loo, just went back and caught up.

On my screen your bedspread looks similar to Dard Hunter Green or Roycroft Bottle Green, which is just a guess and could be different in person. Not super feeling either of the combinations, but if you like it; maybe you can find a piece of art that will tie things together.

If you love a specific wall color (my vote is Stillwater) giving up the bedding is actually easier.

The blue wall color with your bedding might work.

Here are some SW colors that are similar to Ben Moore Salamander:

Diana, I don’t know the blue color, sorry. just a photo I found on Pinterest.
I did a SW Color match on their app and it came up as Santorini Blue. One shade darker is Marea Baja, which is really nice IMO.

@Diana K does this bedroom have its own bathroom? I realize it might not, since the house is old, but sometimes people renovate. If it does have a bathroom, what colors are there? I like to tie colors together in an ensuite.

Otherwise, never mind... I like the salamander green too.

Salamander is beautiful.

HA! Cascades! It was that or dark night in the living room. I'll pull out the sticky and see how it looks.

I have busy day but later I want to examine the wall options. The emerald green bedding is pushing the wall color. Don’t think we have it on perfect choice yet. Bbl

@Diana K may as well pull out all the stickies to see if you love any of them in this space.

The power of the stickies will compell us!

I made a BUNCH of collages; with the green bedspread in mind, these are my favorites. That being said, I still stand firmly in the camp that it’s more important to find a wall color you love and if the bedding clashes, get new bedding. Also, don’t hate me for putting Reddened Earth in here lol, I think it works better in here than in the dining where I really wanted to see an amber/gold.

Here are a few you’re considering that I don’t think look as nice with the bedspread, but again that’s an easy solution.

South light is the dominant in the room. Working with the light, the green comforter, and the black headboard, my suggestion is B.M. Grant Beige.

Just throw all of your 100s of living room and dining room samples on the wall and see what sticks (pun intended). That should at least help figure out what is close to working, and eliminate some others, and narrow down to a particular family.

Ha, I will have to do that. 

A reminder that the rules are no greige, beige, pastels or similar. The southern lights light gets bright and the room can support dark colors.

I know you said “Sherwin Willams “ only but how about “Current Mood” from Clare? I was very skeptical to order paint online but after reading many reviews I finally got the “current mode” and painted the accent wall in my bedroom with this amazing color. The paint has great coverage, quick drying time, zero VOC. Very fast shipping too.
Sorry, do not know how to post the link here. Just adding the screenshot.

Bedroom edition??? I haven't been keeping up. Are you finished with the living room and dining room editions? I guess I need to check out your other posts!

Yep! Living room is dark night, dinning room is reddened earth (may repaint, idk), hallway upstairs and downstairs are malted milk. Office is Foxhall green, upstairs bathroom is studio blue green and the other upstairs room is humble gold. :)

Current mood is pretty! I still want to stick to SW because it's accessible locally.

OMG you got moving and then didn't stop! I scrolled through and only saw the doors, which IMO look great! I didn't see the entire living room or any of the other areas. I will have to slow down my scrolling and take another look.

Have fun. Get some snacks, there's a LOT in there.

At one point you looked at Aubergine for downstairs. I recall you didn't care for it there, but are you interested for your bedroom?

@kl23 I think this could be stunning in the bedroom, which I would consider aubergine.

@texmax13 you know... Plumb Brown looks a little too much like rotting eggplants for me. Going back in one of the posts (dining room edition?) There were pictures of an aubergine and borscht that I fell in love with. I thought the aubergine was an actual Sherwin Williams color and didn't even cross check. These posts are so long that I'll have to get on my computer to find them, but now I have to, knowing the aubergine isn't a SW name. Thankfully the Borscht is. Maybe SW Blackberry was more what I had in my memory? What do you think of that color @Diana K?

Blackberry turns grape purple on my walls. Like Kool aid. :( I did try plum brown on the color app and it wasn't doing it for me.

Yeah, I was liking it, but if you don't like it, that's the end of all purples. So do you think you are looking for another green? Something between your office green and teal? I like that direction too. Just trying to narrow it down a bit.

Yeah, I think I'm looking at greens and blues. Of course cascades is a green blue. Or blue green. Whatever.

Yes, Cascades and Salamander both appealed to me. They had just enough intensity but not too much.

I don't like the name much, but Country Squire?

I think my favorite is Salamander but now I connected the dots and see it is a Benjamin Moore color, and that's why you are looking at Cascades. I can't find anything better. I was looking for a darker greener version...just a little.

Diana - Let me just say that these color saturated rooms are making me happy. Many of us have houses that can’t support this type of color choice, and with the LR almost done and your bedroom being the next candidate for a deep color, it’s all very wonderful. I know it’s stressful, but your risk-taking is getting you phenomenal out-of-the-ordinary rooms.

Stay with a deep color in the DR. It’s all working. The support from so many talented people is proof that this site IS a great asset to all of us. Hang in there, girl.

i think it was suggested further back in thread, but SW Rookwood Shutter Green is supposed to be a close match to Salamander.

I am trying again here. What I posted on your other thread was to try SW Mount Etna. It is a more neutral deep tone and would work well with current Hall color, your bedding changes etc and I think you liked it early in the hunt for living room color?

@kl23 @S M to my eye Rookwood Shutter is a tad closer to Salamander, with Cascades being a touch brighter. Here is each with Salamander in the center;

Yes, I originally suggested Rookwood Shutter Green for a deep color, and still prefer it (on my screen) but also do like Cascades. This is the Shutter Green

they’re all pretty and hard to tell on screen. Might be a job for Samplize :)

I have, like, ALL the colors already. I'm done buying more. I've spent way too much on that already.

lol, been there

@Diana K you say "A reminder that the rules are no greige, beige, pastels or similar. The southern lights light gets bright and the room can support dark colors.". You don't seem to understand natural light and undertones. As I said your dominate light is from the south. A few of your dark samples have the wrong undertones and will not look like your chip when up on the wall. You have to make that warm, sometimes hot light work. For instance the green and aqua have yellow undertone. South light is going to do mean things to it. Save the green for an East light room and choose a blue with gray undertones.

The brown undertone will drag the room down, especially with the green coverlet. Deep rose/purple will hold it's own with the light.

Just keep in mind that the most time spent in the bedroom you are asleep. You want to wake and enjoy the color which works best with daylight.

This would be a perfect dark color for south light and will work with the green, as long as you add in white accents.

@Diana K some experts might think a deep blue green would be perfect for a south facing room:

https://www.kylieminteriors.ca/the-best-benjamin-moore-paint-colours-for-a-south-facing-exposure-room/

Yeah, I read that article a long time ago. All of the suggested colors are pale pastels which are definitely not my thing. 

I appreciate your information elcieg. So, what will yellow light + grey undertone do? Will yellow and yellow enhance the yellow, mix with whatever other color it is (say, green) and get...like chartreuse?

@Diana K the article link was just for a reference to the excerpt in my previous post that said a dark cool color would be "awesome" in a south-facing room. The dark blue-greens you have been favoring are exactly what THAT professional feels would be "awesome".

A lot of the advice given in many articles that discuss the effects of natural and artificial light on paint colors do indeed assume everyone on the planet must have pastel or neutral or some version of grey or beige. Your Malted Milk is in that class of colors, but your other colors seem strong enough to stand on their own. I likewise find the pale-centric advice frustrating. Why should those of us who like bold colors have to work so hard to translate?

I was just trying to say that there are opposing viewpoints out there. I think that's why it all comes down to seeing the stickies in the room and with the lighting you hope to have.

@elcieg can you please be more specific about this statement? "For instance the green and aqua have yellow undertone. South light is going to do mean things to it." Do you mean that south light has yellow in it so that any blue will look more green, and green will look yellow-green? "Mean" doesn't translate for me. I have a north-facing room that washes everything with blue light and the blues look more intense, so I get that. And my east-facing room gets pink light in the morning so pinks are nice in there. My west-facing rooms get orange light. My south facing rooms get green but only because the light is filtered through trees. Can you help explain "mean" in terms of light colors?

In my opinion, lighter or brighter colors would be impacted more by the abundant light, because they could look washed out or too bright. The colors Diana has so far been considering should hold their own up against the abundant southern sun.
