So, when my husband heard me say that I wanted to paint our daughter’s bedroom green, he knew that this process could potentially be headed for trouble. It was maddening! We finally ended up painting the living room a light gray that looks very blue in the light (“Aloof Gray” by Sherwin Williams) and the playroom a green that had more yellow undertones than blue (“Willow Tree” by Sherwin Williams). All my blue paints looked green on the living room walls but the exact same paint color dried blue in the playroom. It was crazy! The same thing happened with my blue paint in the living room. It was strange! And I’d think, “Perfect! I want light blue paint in the living room!” I’d run over to the living room and paint a swatch of the green paint that had just dried blue on the wall, and this time when it dried on the living room wall it looked green. Every time the green paint sample would dry on the playroom wall the color would change from green to light blue. I bought tons of little sample jars of paint to test out on the walls. So I got out my trusty fan deck of paint chips and started searching for the perfect paint colors. When we first moved in I decided I wanted to paint the play room green and the living room blue. The lighting varies so much, and the same paint color can look drastically different from one room to the next. I have painted and then immediately repainted more green rooms than I care to admit!įriends, we know from personal experience that our castle is tricky when it comes to paint colors. It can be a very tricky color because the undertones strongly influence how the color looks on the wall. I’ve purchased more samples of green paint than any other color. Over the years I’ve tried various shades of green paint including deep hunter green, earthy sage green, lovely greenish blues, and light almost neutral greens. I always like to paint at least one room in my home green because it’s so soothing and looks beautiful with blue, which is my absolute favorite color. Green paint and I have a complicated history together.
