Which paint chip card do you like best with this tile? We'll call them 1-4, from L to R.

We are planning to use the 4th/middle color down, we just need to decide on the card. The bathroom is off a room that is painted Sleepy Blue (2nd color down, 1st/leftmost card), if that matters.

There will be white beadboard and molding between the color being contemplated and the floor. Floor and walls are the only non-white, non-metal things to consider.

Calvin likes one, I like another. We need help.

I like 2 and 3. They're all nice though..

Modified to strike out 2 as I decided I like 3 best.

I think 1-3 are too saturated, so my vote is for the 4th gray-green strip. I feel like the 4th color down on that strip doesn't have enough personality, so I'd want them to custom mix something in between 4 and 5.

I JUST read something about someone comparing the Rain and Quietude strips and them realizing that Rain is pretty much straight baby blue. Lemme see if I can find it.

Edited for reading comprehension - LEFT to right, Diana, left to right.

I like the greener tones (3 and 4) against the tile.

Strip #4 is the one with Sea Salt, Comfort Grey, and Oyster Bay on it. Obviously I like it because it's in my LR & DR

Strip #2 is the only one of the four that isn't already somewhere in my house.

Calvin was gung ho on strip #1, which is the same strip it was before. I was feeling more like 2 or 3. But I don't know. I think I'm struggling so much with this room because it's the first time I've done a room with ZERO natural light. When I painted it the first time I just slapped up the same color as the adjoining family room, and it was no harm, no foul. But the strictly incandescent light in there is goofing me up.

I like the third strip, the second lightest to the fourth lightest.

What are the two strips immediately on either side of Oyster Bay, et al? Have you considered them? I feel like the tile commands green more than it does blue. I hate that my fan deck isn't with me this summer!

[hunniapple]

I prefer 4

I'm actually liking #5 on the 3rd strip. I think going bit bolder in this room will be ok b/c the beadboard will lighten things up a lot.

The strips next to it are:

strip #30, which is #3 above (Window Pane / Rainwashed / Quietude / Halcyon Green / Underseas, etc.), and

strip #32, Frosty White / Aloof Gray / Sensible Hue / Rare Gray, etc. This one is even more neutral and less green than the oyster bay strip. I wasn't so much feeling it.

Hm, ok then. I don't think you can go wrong with #4. My gut just wants to hunt for something with a little less blue still. But seeing as how I don't have a fandeck, I'm not very much help! lol

I like the 4th strip the best. The green tones work well with the warm tile.

[emjacobs]

I'm really feeling #4, but I'm very much a fan of greens. Plus you obviously have had luck with that strip

[amblor]

If you're doing the middle color, I really like #3!
