Green paint color (Valspar, flooring, home improvement, pictures)

[snapdragon12]

I like the color of the paint in these two pictures (see attached). Does anyone know a brand/color that would be close to this?

It is probably something called Sage
and almost every shop that has paint has something similiar
The best thing to do is go to the paint shop and look for yourself.

Here is another similar color that I like.

I've tried to find a similar color in the paint store, but the paint samples look so different to me in the store than they do on the walls of a house.

You are never going to find a paint color on a card that is the exact same color as what is on the wall of a home.
The lighting is different, the wall texture is different, there are shadows in a home, etc.

Yes, I know. I am just looking for suggestions of a color that is similar to the ones shown in the pictures. At least that will give me an idea of what color to be looking for in the paint store.

Try going to a site called...That Garden Web and click on the forums for the home site. They have a Paint forum where people post pictures of paint by color along the the paint names and brand. There is a lot of good information on that site! Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try out that forum.

The first pic of the bathroom looks kind of like my master bath/bedroom which is Valspar Rosemary Sprig. You know though, so many of them look so much alike - it's impossible to tell. I finally picked out about 6 swatch cards and took them home to show the hubs. By process of elimination - when we got down to one we finally agreed on out of that six and no others - that was it - over, done, finito, S*F*!!!

We keep a few Benjamin Moore color fan-wheels around the house (3 to be exact). They are extremely useful as you don't have to drive to the paint store every time you want to try a new color out and see it in your home before even committing to a sample.

If this isn't an option, go to a paint store or a home improvement store and simply grab a sample card of every color that remotely looks close in the store. Take them all home and then compare them in your home at different times of day and in light/shadow etc.

The other thing to keep in mind when looking at photographs is that a lot of times the paint in real estate or interior design photographs appears lighter in the picture than it would in real life in your house due to the shot's exposure. This is especially true when going for a brightly lit, airy, and cheery shot that is so common in interior design or real estate shoots. Thus, even if someone told you an exact paint color that was used in a picture, it may appear darker in your house than what you saw in the picture.

The lighting, flooring and furnishings in the room you're painting can totally change the color.
