Help with picking Benjamin Moore Colors

Hi there,

We're trying to pick the best color - for our masterbedroom and downstairs (stairs, LR/DR and computer room).

We're looking at a color "Muslin" for downstairs - not too sure about it - they don't make a sample in this color :(

Would like a color that makes the crown moldings pop - light/beige taupe would be great!

For the Master Bedroom - I like a smokey/blueish or a smokey/greenish color.
It has a cathedral ceiling - so we'll probably go a little lighter w/ the same shade for that.

If anyone has any pics w/ BM color info - I'd love to see them!!!

Thanks again!
Kara

we have Muslin in our LR and it's awesome-- everyone who comes over comments on how much they like the paint color. We also have a chair rail and crown molding in this room-- we chose White Dove.

For the smokey/green, try Nantucket Grey. I will try to find a pic, we have it in our family room. It comes out grey when painting it and then when it dries, it turns into a sage/grey.

If a sample isn't available, you can always buy a quart to test it out.

Oooh...if you can find a pic, I'd really love to see it!

I was talking paint colors (more specifically sage) with a woman at the nail salon and she mentioned how beautiful the Natucket Grey was (her friend used it.)

adobe beige for our walls - bedroom ,kitchen, dining room and hallways..
we used super white gloss for the molding and super white flat for the ceiling..anything that is not white will definitely make the molding pop

We have Huntington Beige throughout our LR, DR, and halls w/ White gloss molding. They really pop! I went dark w/ the BR colors, Georgia Green, a dark blue and a dark gray (can't remember the names) and a light gray/tan in the Bath.


ETS - They are all from the Historic Color line
