Do you have purple paint in your house?

[karinothing]

What colors? I am not feeling the ones I have looked at yet. This would be for the master bedroom.

[moonlight]

I just painted my bedroom last night...autumn purple by BM. I went through TONS of colors before I decided. I'll post pics when I get home.

I had a Behr Wisteria living room in my house (before I married). DH hated it.

We have a purple bedroom. I don't know the exact color, but it's a light, dull purple. I like it a lot, but I wish it was a little less dull; not bright, just not quite so blah.

If you decide to do a purple room, definitely get lots of paint samples. I feel like purple is a tricky color.

I have a purple in my office. Orchid by MS color matched to SW. I can post a photo tomorrow when I'm on the desktop.

Our bedroom was supposed to be a grey with a hint of purple (think lavender purple). It is now purple with a hint of grey, lol, because I didn't listen to my gut. It is lovely, not what I wanted but lovely.

I have a purple exterior door, but nothing inside the house.


It is SW Dewberry.

I have an eggplant color in my dining room. I tried a bunch of samples before choosing the color. I think purples can be tricky, so try it on the wall before you commit!

I love that color.

Yes, the master bedroom and the living room are the same deep violet.

[Blueper]

I have Behr Milestone color matched in SW in my bedroom, it is a medium gray purpleish color. I do not like it at night with my current yellow tinged light bulbs . However, during the day it is perfect!

[karinothing]

I agree that purple is a tough color! I just love it so! lol. I want a good purplish gray I think.

Our master bathroom is purple. Sherwin Williams Ash Violet. 3.bp.blogspot.com/-2ADNJEoFCcA/TqxLVk-JLmI/AAAAAAAABbc/IRGuWwXRcVE/s1600/purple-dining-room.jpg (not my picture)

My front door is almost the exact same shade, but it's a Collegiate color from the Behr line. (Go 'Cats!)

Ironically, no purple rooms though. I am picky about purples and I find that most light purples are too feminine for even my purple-loving husband.

I have a great one if you want purplish gray. Behr Silverado Trail. I have it in my bathroom and get compliments all the time. It reads almost gray in some lights.

That is gorgeous. I can see why you get compliments on it!

My favorite color is purple but my husband vetoes it in every shade. I would love BM Elephant Gray in my kitchen and dining room.

Autumn purple is beautiful. I have a friend who has it in her powder room and it looks amazing.

This is very nice. I'm going to keep it in mind for my master bedroom!

Oh! I love this. This is pretty much exactly what I am looking for. I am going to have to check it out!

We just painted one wall of our master F&B's Brassica.

Ok, here's the office/guest room:

we just painted the GR in "Deep Smoke Signal" by Behr. It came out much more purple than blue.

I was thinking of adding in an accent wall on the right side with a stencil of some kind and only using the same color in a high gloss.

My kids bedroom is half purple half green!  It looks like a garden!  i was a little scared when they picked it but it looks nice.  It is a Benjamin Moore color - something crocus, maybe?!?!

[lgb78]

We painted our master purple in our last house.  The color is Bonne Nuit by Benjamin Moore.

[TBM]

We had a purple master bedroom several years ago. I don't remember the color name, but it was on the plum side, and fairly saturated. It was a great color for a master bedroom....it was a very relaxing and sexy room.

In total non-sequiturs, I like your floors in there.

[mrs.jacinthe]

LOL, thanks! I'm really glad we went with them, even though I was hesitant in the beginning.

I have a bedroom in eggplant. DD put SIX coats on to get just the right color. She did this as a junior in HS, has a sort of moss green stripe near the ceiling, that was about 3 coats. She is meticulous and did a great job. We don't use her room anymore but I just haven't had the inclination to tackle painting over that deep color. At some point we probably will but not right now.

[karinothing]

whoa 6 coats is a lot of paint lol.

[tripleshot]

Glidden Dolphin Gray in the half bath and my walk-in closet. I love it!
