Can I see your SW or BM purple rooms?

[happyhomemaker]

I have gotten a number of paint samples to try. So far, two didn't work for me (BM Sanctuary and Intrigue). I am trying to get a color to compliment my new bedding.

I just put on SW Ash Violet, Beguiling Mauve and Grapey on the walls and the jury is still out. Can I see your SW or BM purple rooms for inspiration?

My office is not SW or BM, it's Behr, but from my screen, the color would be perfect.

It's Duchess Lilac by Behr.



Here is the room:

That is a beautiful color! I love it! My nearest HD is almost two hours away, though. If I get to one before our bed comes in I think I will try it. It is hard to tell, but one of the color samples I brought home looks somewhat close to that (on my screen, anyway). It is SW Ash Violet. Apparently, it was used on the HGTV 2010 dream home in one of the guestrooms. You can see it here:

So far, if I go with one of the samples I got (I am getting so frustrated...this is supposed to be fun, right?) that is the front runner. I just don't want our MB to look like a teen girl's room (your office doesn't, though , but maybe I am too focused. I do feel quite pressured to pick something because our bed is being delivered at the end of the week.

Thank you so much for the reply. I may be taking a paint road trip!

You have no idea how many purples I went through to find this one! I was super frustrated.

Before you make the road trip, see if SW can color match. My experience is that BM doesn't match as well.

They might need the card to color match it, so I pulled out mine and here is the info:

It's the Behr Premium Plus Ultra color line - Duchess Lilac UL-250-17. Try that and see if it works. Or at least you can see the color in person and not on the screen.

I also tried to google for you to see if there was something that could give you the similar color in BM or SW, but I didn't have any luck. You might want to try that too, maybe you will have more luck.

ETA: And if all else fails, I can mail you the paint chip and they should be able to color match by scanning the color. Just let me know.

Thanks so much! I appreciate all of your effort! I am glad I am not alone when it comes to not being able to find the exact color I want right away. I will let you know if I need the paint chip. Thanks again so much!

No problem! I totally feel your pain, so if I can help, I'm happy to!

I went to HD today because there was a SW nearby (which I didn't go to). I picked up the swatch for Duchess Lilac. It is hard for me to tell, but is there a red/pink tint to it?

[Ramz-ee]

I don't see a red/pink tint to it at all, but it could be the light in my room.

That's what I am afraid of. It looks gorgeous in your room, but it is looking different in mine. I hope I can find something soon. I am getting frustrated. I need to have the room finished by Thursday morning.
