Paint colors!
We are getting ready to do a bunch of painting and I'm looking for wall colors for spare bedrooms and foyer/stairway/2nd floor landing (all one color for that since they all run into one another). Will be using Benjamin Moore. Any suggestions? Pics would be great! Thanks!!!

Re: Paint colors!
I don't know how much it will help but you can peruse around my "Walls" board on Pinterest. It's basically all paint colors.

Re: Paint colors!
Do you have an idea of what color families you'd like to stay in?
I also have a pinterest board for paint colors, too (only about half a dozen on there... I really need to update that board! LOL) so feel free to look...
http://pinterest.com/cneaglebraun/favorite-paint-colors/
Some BM neutrals that I like (that aren't on my board), and that might be good for a foyer/hallway are Shaker Beige (for a true beige), Mannequin Cream (a lighter color), and Philadelphia Cream (a warmer neutral/yellowish).
Bedrooms, I tend to gravitate toward soothing colors - blues, greens, - but ones that are soft enough to read as neutrals.

Re: Paint colors!
Thank you! I'm going to look into the colors you mentioned. I'm not sure the color families because unfortunately the bedrooms are unfurnished. I know I like light natural wood or antinque white furniture - so paint can be just about anything with those choices. The best way for me to choose is to look at rooms with the color in it - so much easier than a swatch! I hadn't thought of pinterest (never used it before) so thank you both for mentioning it!
