Paint Selections - arden Hills

When the previous owner agreed to paint all of the walls before move-in, I was ecstatic. There are so many colors out there and factors to think about—the finish, room's lighting, trim color and the furnishing design. I chose a neutral palette to leave room for varying decor schemes, and painted samples on the walls in every room to check the lighting. It’s crazy how the same color looks different in different lighting. See what I mean—

Favorite Neutral Paints

At the top of my list for neutral paints is Sherwin Williams, Shoji White. It's a warm white with some beige undertones. This color really works in a range of lighting from more dimly lit to bright.

My next favorite neutral was Sherwin William's Popular Gray. I picked Popular Gray because it paired really well with warm floors and could stand up to the bright sunlight.
