BM Baby Turtle - love it

BM providence olive. I have black countertops and maple cabinets. Looks very nice as a background color.

Can you link to the wallpaper again? That link isn't working.

Did you consider BM Abingdon Putty? It comes out very much like the background on the wallpaper (which is gorgeous btw!).

Thanks for the suggestions. Feel free to keep em coming because I have to get this right. I am fully prepared to order samples until I am satisfied with a color.

I am going check into all three that have been suggested so far. I may have do do Baby Turtle at 50% or so to get to a light enough color, but it is a great color! Providence Olive and Abingdon Putty are fab as well.

Bring on the samples! Thank goodness I did not put a ime limit on this. hehehe.

Here is a link that might be useful: Here's another try at the link to the Schumacher Isabella Paisley in Peridot

Are you trying to go with a more eclectic feel for the condo because it appears very modern yet the wallpaper seems very traditional? I think I would select a more celery colored green (sorry no names).

Can you take the wallpaper sample to be color matched?

YES...color match the paper. It's lovely, by the way!
It does appear that b turtle at 50% could work~~

So My Perfect Color is going to be making some money off this one. :) Here's what I shall try today: BM Baby Turtle (515) at 50%, BM Dried Parsley (522) plus 50%, BM Abingdon Putty (maybe green is too hard?).

AND...I will take it to my local guys to be color matched. They are pretty fantastic so I am sure they can come up with something. I wish I could mix the Grasshopper and the Dried Parsley because really that's what the lighter green lining the edges of the paisleys looks like. So frustrating.

Just to give you an idea of what the wallpaper looks like in real life (quite different than it looks on my monitor), the main body color is somewhere between BM Ivy League and Baby Turtle. Closer to Ivy League, I guess.

Htnspz: We are thinking sleek and clean (modern-ish?))with a nod to traditional to keep it from being so square, too neutral and...boring. It will be a challenge, but -- in my mind -- the wallpaper is so traditional that it feels fresh and modern. But I could be really, sadly wrong. I am totally open to opinions on this issue.

Please keep thoughts, ideas and suggestions coming. I am a perfectionist so it will take me a while. Ugh.

I also think you need a more celery color green. IMO, baby turtle leans towards a brownish color green.
How about Georgian Green HC 115 or Fernwood Green. They both have yellow in them, rather than the brown.
I also think color matching to your paper is the best bet.
I know Ellen Kennon has a Peridot green. I forgot what it looks like though. Great paint and great lady. Check out her website to see her greens. You could also email her your question and she will help you out.

BM Dry Sage is a gorgeous, gorgeous color on the walls. Take a look at it!

Whew. I have been painting test boards like it is my job. Here is what I have concluded: My heart wants Farrow & Ball paints. My head (and wallet!) wants to find close approximations so I don't go broke.

Here are the F&B colors I am thinking:

Churlish Green for the 16' wall with the stairs and upstairs
Cream for the hallway leading into kitchen/living room
Tanner's Brown for accents--maybe the little bump out columns and a soffit in the kitchen/living room?
Oval Room Blue for the office/guest room or the guest bathroom
Matchstick for ceilings and trim

So I tried to get my fab BM guys to match it. No dice. And now I cannot get the colors out of my mind.

Help. I am looking at EK, P&L, BM, and C2 and hoping to find something already mixed that will give me the same overall color look as the F&B.

Like maybe:

Churlish Green = c2 Cameleon (170)
Tannner's Brown = c2 Stout (481)
Cream = c2 Cornsilk (396)
Oval Room Blue = EK Slate

Short of winning the lottery, what do you guys suggest?

Churlish Green is exactly what I pictured to match with your wallpaper. That's why I suggested a green with yellow like Georgian Green. Farrow's cream or Cream? I also like either.
I like EK slate as well as a cheaper alternative to Oval Room Blue.
Tanner's is a bit dark for me, but I am not that daring.
Just for the record I used more Farrow and Ball paint to paint a room than I normally would. It just needs more coats IMO. I do think EK paints has better coverage in that in covers in less coats. You can't go wrong using F & B, but definitely try them in your room first before spending the money.
