Maybe a screaming fall a little too much for my taste. It might be due to the brown curtains though.

curtains are lavender silk.......
Anyway, that is a house I just finished, I used the pix as an example of what the room would look like based on the colors you are speaking of. In the case of that house, the colors are the owners favorites, there are several paint sites where you can try out color combos, I would try playing with a program like that........

Umm......... I guess it is time to get my eyes checked. I enlarged it and can definitely see the lavender now. Thanks so much for attaching the picture. I think it is along the lines of what I am going for-we are in North Carolina and will probably be doing plantation shutters. Beautiful work-thank you.

Lol!!!!!! The green is Ralph Lauren Suede, the orange is Sherwin Williams Truepenny.
Thanks for the compliment, I really appreciate it!
Plantation shutters would look great!

Love the idea of olive green with orange. I was a child in the 70's so that color combination always looks warm and inviting to me.

I never thought of that. Another product of the 70's. I wonder if that is why I like it? We grew up in Texas with the olive green appliances (except for the brown refrigerator) and a beautiful(ha) orange and green linoleum floor.

As my Dad likes to say, "We are what we were."
