My Picks

To further the previous post, as promised, here are my fav colors from all brands listed above - let me know your thoughts or what colors work for you!

Behr:   Bonfire 270B-7 - a warm "autumn" shade of orange.  This color makes me want to bake.  I can't explain why, just look at it and tell me you don't want to bake.

Benjamin Moore:   Bunny Nose Pink.  I stand by the masculinity of the shade of this color, regardless of the positively castrating name.

California Paints:   Wainscot Green - a muted gray that is perfect for an older home, as it's a historical color.  Check it out, it screams history.

Farrow & Ball:   Farrow's Cream - it's so lush, you actually want to lick it.

Hudson Paint:   BonBonbon - It's the "anti-blackboard", vibrant and playful, a child would love this playful color.

Martha Stewart Living Paint:   Ash Bark - MSL211 - a clay color, perfect neutral.

Montana Spray Paint:    Shock Brown S 8010 - looks like milk chocolate and dries true to color - just decadent.

The Real Milk Paint Company:    Terra Cotta MP11 - a gorgeous brick shade, very earthy with brown tones underneath - perfect "barn" color.

Valspar: Perfect Storm 5001-6C  - Muted, understated and classic. It's a great color to build a room around, particularly in a dining room.
