I have always been a loyal Benjamin Moore customer but discovered C2 Lovo paints. Love the coverage and the saturated color they provide. I painted my bedroom in called Salty Brine. It reminds me of the color of the water in the USVI. A powder room is done in a C2 Hydrangea. Another bedroom is done in Pratt and Lambert's Bittersweet-a deep rusty orange that my son loved because it reminded him of Mexico.

Currently looking for a blue that is not too cold for the basement hall and pantry area. In our living areas,- which I consider this to be part of- eventually it will lead to the mud room- I am partial to toned down colors. I have used Benjamin Moore colors, straw, dried basil, coastal fog and nantucket fog in the rest of the house. My trim is all white, floors are natural pine.

I was leaning toward Benjamin Moore Palladian Blue. Anyone have a favorite blue tone that is not too dark but not too "baby" blue? I find blues and yellows to be hard to choose as the natural light (or lack there of) can totally change the color.

In my house, with my lighting, I LOVE BM Bright & Early and BM Denim Wash.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Pulled out my BM fans and am going to go get samples.
