I need the names of some colors. Reds, greens & grays and other interrior colors for kitchen, dining room & living room. I'm too busy and second guessing to start from scratch. I know somebody here has recently painted and remembers the some names of colors they liked.

Go to Lowes. Alexander Julian is a good start.

I read that the designer paint brands are of low quality because they buy the rejects from the main brands. But if you have first hand experience with it I suppose that is more important.

Builder, you posted some pics of the red you painted at your place. You still have those?

leather, never own cloth if you got kids and you don't want to have to beat them.

I don't think I have the resources for leather walls right now but I will keep it in mind.

Sure, let me know which color you want, so I can make sure he gets the most effective food to provide it....

There were some great blues that I looked at this past week. But after a long haggle with her, I ended up deciding on Scotland Road, a deep but not dark light green/blue. That or another similar color could knock out your green, it's not "too green".

Just go to Home Depot and look at some samples. Pick out a couple that you like. It's not hard.

I still say I like that red. Not for the living room, but I think we can find somewhere for it. Maybe in the room where I keep her locked up at night.

It was like living in a box of crayons. Here's what I have now. Much more sophisticated. That red would be a great dining room color if it were 1999 again.

Didn't like the red? I'm thinking a red for the kitchen and/or dining room.

I just have a hard time visualizing what a sample will look like in a room. Those color visualizers are useless, it's easier to see what someone has. I also find it hard to look at a color in a room and then find it's equivalant at the paint store.

What do you mean by that?

I have some ideas for that wall. I need artwork in a bad way. I dont want to be all Queer Eye and use blocks of color. I want a HUGE mixed media thing.

The red in my room will be different than in your room depending on the orientation to the sun, lighting, etc. I have three french doors that face south. Any color is going to be severe.

I have no confidence in my "eye" for things but typically what I think I like is verified by my artistically inclined friends.

colors are hard cause everyone sees them differently. It takes a lot of learning and practice to get things right. It's why I have repainted my living room 3 times now in a year. But I think what I have now will stay a long time.
