Clicky: which color for our master bedroom?

[mrs.jacinthe]

These are the worst photo ever.  Sorry in advance. 

We've narrowed it down to these three choices (from left to right/lightest to darkest):

1) Sherwin Williams Aqua-Sphere
2) Behr Waterscape
3) Behr Heron



That's the most light the room ever gets.  Usually the light is more like this:

I liked waterscape a lot but I think you need a lighter color if the room is so dark.

Agreed.   Maybe take that color strip and move to a lighter color on the same strip?

I would want lighter than any of those options. If that's the most light the room ever gets, it would be like being in a cave! Maybe nice for sleeping but so dreary to try to do ANYthing else like get dressed, pick an outfit, or even put away clean laundry.

I agree with @callmefia. If the room got more light, then waterscape all the way.

I like waterscape. We used to have a really dark bedroom and I loved it. It was fun, cooler in the summer and was sexy.

All of our clothes were in a walk in closet, so putting them away or choosing an outfit wasn't a big deal, and the only mirror was in the bathroom, so seeing things well in there wasn't important. We had an overhead light if we really needed it, but we didn't use it much.

I like the first two, but they seem really dark for such dim light. Do you have light bed coverings and either pale carpet or a pale rug?

Yes.  White comforter. 

No carpet.  Reddish-walnut "hardwood" floors.

our bedroom is very close to waterscape and also doesn't get a ton of light. I LOVE it. It's my favorite color in the whole house.

Do you have a PIP?

Let me look through my phone and check! We do have very light (white with a subtle design) bedding, which I do think helps too. 

I don't have anything helpful at the moment but I will do my best to remember to take one tonight

I'm down with bolder, darker colors. I think Heron is TOO dark, but I chose waterscape. We went with gray in the master and it looks good, but I sometimes wish we went even darker than we did. We have white/green bedding and accessories and bright white trim, which I think is helpful because it really pops.

I am totally for dark bedroom colors (heck, ours is painted black), but I really like Aqua Sphere. is it more of a grey-blue?

That was what I didn't like about it....I thought it seemed dull and too drab.


I do love your black bedroom.

Yes, I think so. I like it a lot, but R isn't convinced because he wants a moodier color. He likes Waterscape best.
