Yesterday’s submit in regards to the 4 colour choices for the studio again entry partitions didn’t make clear something for me. (In case you missed that submit, and didn’t see the 4 colour choices, you may see them right here.) There was a particular winner. The gang favourite was unmistakably Behr Scallion.

And I used to be effective with it. I used to be gearing as much as paint my partitions Behr Scallion…till I walked into the room round 6:00pm yesterday and noticed the pattern colours on the wall in pure gentle at the moment of day. It was instantly a tough no from me. That inexperienced that seemed so good and unmistakably inexperienced throughout the brightest a part of the day had became a darkish, muddy, brownish inexperienced. I do know that sort of inexperienced may be very widespread proper now, but it surely’s not widespread in my home and to my eyes in any respect.
In order that was disappointing. The opposite greens weren’t any higher, so all the greens are out. And since I’m clearly not 100% bought on the Classic Velvet colour both, I made a decision to start out performing some mock ups based mostly on the solutions that I discovered within the feedback on yesterday’s submit. And my goodness, did y’all have solutions! 😀
I couldn’t mock up each single considered one of them, and actually, most of the solutions have been the identical or variations on a theme. So I’ll share those that caught my consideration.
A lot of you prompt portray the partitions the cupboard colour. I really actually like this! I do surprise if it will find yourself being an excessive amount of of factor, although. Or perhaps it will deliver stability to the room with the again entry partitions and the cupboards on the other aspect of the room being the got here colour. It’s arduous for me to inform. An excessive amount of? Or nice stability?

A number of individuals prompt portray the partitions a lighter model of the cupboard colour. That will be one thing like this…

After which a few individuals prompt going a darker shade of the cupboard colour. I really actually love this.

So many individuals prompt colours within the gold, greenish yellow, citron households. Right here’s a greenish yellow…

This one is extra of a buttery yellow…

After which a more true gold colour…

And right here’s one which’s extra of a citron colour…

Subsequent up, there have been a number of solutions for colours within the orange and peach colour vary. That is in all probability as orange as I may go…

And it is a little lighter…

After which slightly lighter nonetheless…

Subsequent up have been the blue and teal solutions. These teal flowers which can be on the highest left fringe of the material (are these even flowers?) aren’t as outstanding or daring as the opposite colours, however that’s the place I received the blue-green colour that’s on the partitions of the studio (which I’m keen to repaint, by the way in which). So right here’s a really gentle blue-green. It virtually appears to be like blue-gray.

After which right here’s slightly darker blue-green…

After which even darker…

And naturally, a number of individuals prompt more true and lighter purples. The issue is that I’m very explicit about purples, and I solely actually like purples which have plenty of blue in them, or purples which can be actually deep. As soon as we begin venturing into the sunshine purples, lilacs, periwinkles, and many others., I’m not a fan. These simply remind me of Easter egg colours, and I don’t like them in massive portions in my home. However since they have been prompt many instances, I believed I’d do mock ups anyway.
Right here’s a medium-light purple…

And right here’s one which’s extra within the lilac vary…

And a good lighter lilac colour…

I’m positive I may have carried out extra, however they’d have simply been variations of the above themes. I believe I’ve just about exhausted the primary solutions. So what stands out to you? Any of those?
I do need to be aware that (1) white partitions within the again entry are usually not an possibility, and (2) portray the partitions within the studio is an possibility, and I might really think about white for the studio partitions.
