What color scheme is your house?

In this house we have earthtones in almost every room. Brown, beige, cream, dark green, burgundy. All the rooms have white accents though to brighten it up. When we move I want to do something completely different, but I want it all to flow. I want something more bright, like light yellows, maybe light grayish, purple accents. What color scheme do you have? Please post pics if you can!!

ETA: Everything now is also more traditional, next time I want to go more modern, but I need ideas!

main bath: sage green

master bedroom: soft bluish/green

master bath: latte/light brown

son's room: light blue and tan

That sounds nice. I like the white doors, that must make it look so pretty and clean

Re: What color scheme is your house?

every room in my house has a color. I live in a traditional center hall colonial so the entry way and up the stairs is Chester Town Buff (yellow)
Dining Room is Red
Living room is Green Den is a mustard yellow
Kitchen is green
Bedrooms vary from ligh blue to a gray Taupe color.

I feel like unless the rooms open into one another the colors can be different

Re: What color scheme is your house?

Light colors - sort of Cape Cod-ish, I think, but with dark furniture. Blues in the living room, dining room and kitchen. Green/grey in the den, putty in the hallway. We will be redoing our bedroom, I'm so tired of the BM Adagio. The kids rooms are are yellow and blue.

Re: What color scheme is your house?

EarthTones mainly - Hallway BM Nantucket Gray

Living room is a shade more olivey than BM Nantucket Gray...can't remember the color since it was painted over 6 years ago.

My Bedroom is Behr Cinnamon Spice (Brown)...Love this color

DDs bedroom is a sagey green (once again can't remember the color but it's by Behr)

The Bathroom is Gliddens Gentle Tide (really light blue with a hint of green) pulled of the YHL website.

Kitchen is White.

I'm so tempted to paint everything over and use more tans and soothing beach colors.

Re: What color scheme is your house?

I don't know how to describe my scheme, but we're big fans of bold color. My friend calls it "classic American".

Our living room is a bold blue (behr-yacht club blue, I believe), master bedroom is light lavender, kitchen is sage green, dining room is bright burgundy, my office is gray with bold purple accents. (Don't remember the exact colors). Kitchen is half white while we make our plans to get rid of the pink and black tile...but will be either light blue and white, or neutral colors.
