Wall color suggestions?

[stephm0188]

Crappy cell phone pic, but I figured I'd take one while the bedding was thrown on the bed. I need to stuff the yellow shams still.

The sheets are lime green and white stripes. I have pillows to make for the bed still... one grass green, and one red with white pickstitching.

Dresser
is an antique with a  dark stain, but the lines are very clean. No
nightstands yet, but when I find some they'll be painted a bright color
and the tops will be stained to match the dresser.

Keep the tan paint or go with another color?

What about a really light sky blue? Any idea what color the night stands will be when you find them?

I'm thinking a nice grass green for the nightstands.

I'm thinking a green for the wall but I find it is SO hard to pick out a good green!

If you reall want to do a bright color for the nightstands, I would just stick with tan on the walls. If you're willing to stick with natural or white/cream nightstands, green or blue (pulled from the bedding) would look nice.

I'd probably stick with the tan if you do green on the night stands. I can kind of see it in my head and it'll look awesome.

Grass green night stands and that bedding call for a calm color on the walls. I find blue to be calm. I would get a paint card that matches the blue in the bedding and then pick a couple of shades lighter on the same card.

I agree or a nice blue gray or a tan. I wouldn't go bright. I like to change my bedding so I'd probably go neutral on the walls but I'm a whimp with wall color.

Where did you get that comforter (or is it a duvet)? I love it!!!

What about a taupe/tan color that is in the stem of the trees? That way if you get bored with this bedding you can change it out and not be stuck with a certain color palette...love the bedding btw!

The duvet is Pottery Barn, but its not available in store anymore. I think the print is Woodlands? I bought it, and then Sarah Richardson used it in one of her houses. I adore it.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I like the sky blue idea.

I would probably paint the walls white with so much color everywhere else. not a fan of the tan.

here it is with a sky blue:
