Honest to God, this is the current color of the den. It isn’t so much my style.
So, what color should we paint it?
Things to keep in mind:
- The couch is khaki
- The carpet is beige
- The windows look out onto a deck that is covered by another deck, so it is rather dimly lit
- One wall is orange brick
- One wall is a warm wood and black built-in shelving unit
The main candidates are blue and green, because those are our colors (for the record, the living room is yellow with a brick colored couch, so there are warm colors in the house somewhere). We’re not sure about the blue, because the adjacent dining room is already blue. But then again, the bedroom is already green. If we did blue, it would be more saturated than the blue in the dining room. In the various photos you can see two blue paint samples side by side. The darker one is the leading candidate for this room, the lighter one is what we have in the dining room.
What color would YOU paint this room?
