Help pic dr colors...
So I went to the store today to get some samples - I wanted to do a two tone color with blue on the bottom - The guy talked me into Shaker Beige for the top and Van Deusen Blue for the bottom - Well it looked very nice on the store once I got home and tested it in our house, we dont love it... So now I need help picking colors - We have Desert tan which we really like and I was thinking of putting that on the top but what should we put on the bottom - I was thinking blue because of out china - I originally thought Symphony blue but the guy said it might be too bright - Can any one help me.... DH is going to work tomorrow and I have to choose colors.....
TIA

Re: Help pic dr colors...
are you matching the colors to your china?
what color is your china? maybe you can take a plate or somthing with you and see if it matches
I like navy blue.. I always liked the way that looks with a khaki or cream color
hope this helps you
ETA: your house looks beautiful from the pic in your avatar.... good luck with everything! Did you just buy?

WE had originally done our DR in Van Deusen Blue on top (white wainscotting on bottom) and it was so dark! I did not like it at all. A year later, I painted my dining room Garrison Red.
Sorry I am of no help

Re: Help pic dr colors...
Here is a pic of the china....
We decided to go with Desert tan for the top and Cobalt Blue for the bottom with white crown molding, chair rail, floor moldings and trim.... I think it should look pretty... I am keeping my fingers crossed - All this running around for paint this morning and last night and I am not even 100% sure they will get to painting today... UUGGHHH....
Oh well - Only time will tell.... This is the room pic with new floor and pic of the china...
