Color Experts - Need BM paint advice for nursery
We need to re-paint DD's room as the original color we chose is not working at all with the furniture. I wanted a soft green color but the one we put up on the wall is too yellow looking and with the cream colored furniture the whole room is reading way too yellow. Pink is not really a good option since I already bought the wall accents in a pink color. I need some recommendations for a soft green in that doesn't have yellow undertones. Has anyone used a BM color that they think might work?
TIA
Her bedding is Glenna Jean Meadow:
And her furniture is a cream color:

We used BM Saybrook Sage in our office which became the nursery. I think that would look great.

That's the color the room is now. It's reading very yellow in DDs room. You are right tho about the sample - looks very different when up on the walls.

DD's room is pink and green. It doesn't look yellow at all in my house. I am sure the lighting makes it different though. Oh well.

It's so crazy how tricky paint can be. None of the colors we tried on the wall look anything like the swatches  . I think we are going with Spring Meadow. A little darker than I would have liked, but it works well with the furniture, bedding and wall accents I already had custom made.

Iced celery or celery ice (can't remember) is a beautiful nursery paint color. I did that with pink for my dd. Now her big girl room is two shades of pink.

FYI if you are using any CFL or LED bulbs, those lights are horrible and will alter the color greatly

Just answered on a different thread but BM spring meadow is a perfect green to go with cream/ivory furniture
