    Paint Colors
    I'm moving into my first home with my fiancé and was looking for some help from someone with a good artistic eye for colors. Right now the walls are all white, and I'd like to add color. I want the home to be warm and inviting and colors that make you feel happy! Below I've listed the colors I have in the room... if you have an eye for colors and cordinating... please help with some wall colors! Thanks

    Bathroom:
    Towels and accessories are dark brown and beige... some gold designs on accessories

    Bedroom:
    Deep dark cherry wood furniture... almost looks black but it's not... just a very dark brown

    Kitchen:
    All appliances are stainless steel. Kitchen towels light apple green and light beige. Plates are white with that apple green and purple design. Table and chairs... black wood with a bronze colored piece as accent.

    Living Area:
    Furniture color light beige with accents of black. Table is glass with black metal legs.. some browns in tiled work that lies under the glass.



    I seem to love the earthtones. Thanks for any help in advance. :)

    Sounds like you got a plan,
    Here's a few notes I found handy, and might help you with co-ordinating colour.
    It'll be great and you gain great satisfaction will be derived from such planning
    The of color harmony, it is seen that color schemes may be successfully planned if the laws of harmony are used intelligently.
    It is not necessary to use all the colors, in any chosen harmony, on the walls, ceiling, or woodwork. The colors may be distributed throughout the room in articles of shower fixtures, furniture, rugs, bathroom fixtures, drapes, lamps, light fixtures etc.
    The smaller areas will stand colors of greater intensity. In other words, the larger the areas, the less intense the colors should be; and the smaller the areas the more intense they may be.

    As experience is gained it will be found that the range of colors used in a scheme will increase, thereby permitting greater freedom and more interesting harmonies.

    Successful color harmony is dependent not only upon the hues chosen but also upon the proper tints and shades. Values of colors are as important as hues in any particular combination.
