Thank you for your complement! For three sides of the walls, I have customized a color based on Sherwin Williams color SW6416, with hints of SW-7747. Most paint stores can work with you on that. Please keep in mind that color is very reactive to other colors used in a room. Here, the color tones are balanced with the light gray color of the concrete, the tile and natural white pebble stone on the floor, the cool natural light coming from the direction of the windows, and the type of lighting used in the room. Additionally, the soft wheat gold glass wall panels used in the shower casts a warm sun-like glow on all colors (see my website www.mitradesigns.comfor the full portfolio of this project). I always study my color schemes at different times of the day, before I finalize the color choices. Color selection really is an art! Please note that the photo viewed on the screen makes the green appear much darker than the actual wall paint. I suggest you first study the color by obtaining a larger sample of all your paint colors and test it in the room. Use of green color particularly requires a careful study in the actual room, so I suggest that you obtain a quart of the paint and do a few test patches on different wall surfaces before you paint the whole room. Have fun playing with colors!

My house, built in 2003, has purple feature walls in the dining room and 2 bedrooms and green feature walls in 1 bedroom and 2 living areas. That was the fashion then. Recently I decided it's time for an update as the feature walls seem to be absorbing all the light and making the house very dark. So far I've undercoated 2 of the feature walls and what a difference it makes! The rooms are much lighter and now I have to decide on whether to add a lighter colour as feature walls or paint them the same colour as the rest of the room.

Lindy, Why dont you do a computer image of the outside of your home like you can do with digital decorator and play with some schemes. You would instantly know if you like it or not!! Otherwise as Luke suggested, you need to decide if you want to contrast or blend?? I would certainly start off with a blend, as changing it to a deeper colour later would be far easier than trying to go back to a lighter colour if you decide you don't like it. Deep Ocean can look stunning with Jarrah but now that you have Monument I think you really need to stick to Windspray if your window frames are that colour otherwise I feel you will be introducing too many colours and you will spoil the elegant look of the home. Cheers, Barbara

Hi, If you take a drawer to a paint shop, their computer will match it for you. Whatever we say here, a photo is different on our computer and depends on the light in your kitchen too...
