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!!!

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.

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.

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!
