Promenade 400F-5? I consider that one but thought it might be too dark as I have dark gray leather couches in my living room and only one window. Plus, I rarely have all my recessed lights on so the room tends to be dark...just the way I like it.

My sister lives in Albq.

I used BM's Wethersfield Moss in my daughter's nursery and then in her "big girl" room. (I love the color that much!)

Attached is an old photo of her nursery. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of her "big girl" room.


I also just painted my kitchen BM Hampshire Gray. It definitely shows more green than gray.

I love Laura Ashley Olive #3 - it goes with so many other colors - it is a true sage color - we used it in our previous house. Be sure to do a test run with a few greens - paint a nice block of color on your wall of each green you are considering.....look at the color during the day in natural light, at night with artificial light, etc.....many greens will yellow out in different lighting and you end up with pea soup paint....good luck to you and let us know what you decide.

Valspar Signature has a beautiful color, Patina, that doesn't go yellow or blue. It is a medium (not too light or dark) intensity that has gray undertones to it.

my fave shade of green is a Sherwin-Williams, #6423, Ryegrass.
Its neither too blue, or too yellow.
I second this color. We used it on the wall around our fireplace, in our half bath and in hubby's office. We get lots of compliments on it.

Just wanted to come back and post what I ended up doing. I ended up picking Patina and I LOVEEEEEEE it. I am thinking of painting my master bath in that color too! Thanks so much for all your suggestions!
