I’m shooting for something similar to this

I’m shooting for something similar to this but using the brown chesterfield chairs .

Please clarify. You are keeping the dark green color?

You are searching for a lighter color to compliment for the left and right?

What color IS the green wall?

I’m shooting for something similar to this

I’m looking to cover all the walls with a more warm light beige but when I put the same paint on two different walls they look very different even after priming with same color..

they will look different, the light is hitting them differently.

So you don't want green, you want a light beige?

The whole room a beige to go with the green marble flooring and the brown chairs?

a drenched room in a softer green would look great with the floor. No contrasting trim color.

SW Acacia Haze

for a white/Beige option, SW Westhighland White

Perhaps a white primer under the beige paint would help.

If you're making that judgement with only two walls painted, that could be part of the problem. Interior interreflection plays a part in final color appearance.

MAGNAVERDE (R.I.P) posted here for years. He had the best idea for understanding this - paint the inside of a shoebox to model what happens. The *atmosphere* inside the shoe box changes as each side is painted and each coat is applied.

Thanks Lyn I will look at Westhighland White!

Lori then how do designers choose colors to make all the walls seem the same color?
Do they just keep reducing the pigment?

make all the walls seem the same

Are all four walls painted - or just two?

Do they just keep reducing the pigment?

I never change formulas. A paint color formula is a controlled input - it is not a matter of simple math. Formulas are complex and unpredictable and it starts with how the pigments are milled.

North light isn't the problem. North light means the light stays constant during the day. that's good!

You work with what's driving the bus...north light. Then find a neutral that works with green.

S W Barely Pear. Undertones will give warmth.

Start by priming the green walls with two or three coats of white primer. Then prime the beige walls with one or two coats of white primer. You need to have all four walls the same white before you start with new beige paint. You are seeing green reflections as well as see-through green paint under your samples. The green marble will continue to reflect green tones throughout the day and night.

If you have the budget for sophistication and luxury, you can hire a professional color consultant for an on-site visit to get what you are looking for.

By the way, if you are replacing the fancy chandelier, do that before finalizing your paint color choice. The bulb color makes a huge difference in appearance.

Hi Heidi,

What software did you use to get your "preferred" room? It looks great. ChatGPT is not wokring for me - it makes too many mistakes.

What Lyn said. What you are attempting to do is impossible because of the light.

A pale beige would be a huge improvement over the green. Apply 2-3 coats of primer over ALL walls and paint the new beige over ALL walls.

First you prime the walls you want to "match" and in your case maybe 3 coats of primer so no green shows as for a perfcet match not going to happen in a room with one wall flooding light into the space and not sure why cream at all since it looks like white in the floor tile so why not match it

FWIW, I recently had my dark green kitchen repainted, and it took the painter 3 coats of primer plus 2 coats of paint = 5 coats total to completely cover. And this was the Benjamin Moore good stuff.

Patricia Colwell the owner thinks white will be too stark, he wants it a more warmer color.

Thank you all for your advice I have decided to wait until everything is primed before choosing colors..

We had a similar visually different color issue when painting our office. It is a small room with one large window; opposite the window is the closet bumped out into the room space. When the entire room was painted Dunn Edwards Cream Wave, the opposite wall sections that were parallel to the window appeared to be a completely different color. It looked awful, as if we had used two very different paint colors.

We happened to have a similar color on hand, but darker, that we were using in a different room. I painted only the parallel opposite-window wall sections DE Pale Beach, while leaving the perpendicular opposite wall sections the original Cream Wave.

It worked so perfectly that visitors that were told the corners were the meeting of two different paint colors would inspect them carefully and swear it couldn't be true! No matter the time of day or night, under sunlight or just room lights, I also cannot visually tell they are actually different colors, even though I know because I painted them!

I think we got extremely lucky our two paints happened to make the room work. To try to pair two up to look the same might be a challenge.
