Paint suggestions for 2 tone wall

9 years ago

Anybody have a suggestion for a medium to deep tone brown paint? Would prefer Behr paint

I know this is about the 3d time I've posted about this wall, and I apologize. Still working on it, but it's the last major piece of my living area to be done.

The plan is to put a piece of trim, as in a chair rail or picture rail, extending from the counter. the bottom half of the back of the kitchen island will be painted, and the paint color extend along the long wall.

I've been trying out many paint colors. The darker color in the picture of Behr Caramel Latte -- too orange. The lighter color is Behr Copper Moon. Pretty, but too light.

I've tried various lighter orange colors -- no, not for this space. I tried various blue, green, and gray colors, which didn't make me happy, either.

So, now I'm looking for a medium toned brown that has enough yellow tone in it to go with my counter and the existing wall color. Any suggestions?

Here's the long wall. Paint color would start at the sit up counter on the left, and continue along under a piece of moulding or trim all the way to the wall on the right.

TV will be replaced and art hung above (eventually!)

We have Behr Cup of Cocoa in our dining room, it reads pink in pictures, but it's a nice shade of a darker tan in real life. We liked this color so much as it was on the walls when we moved here 11 years ago, we repainted the room same color twice now!

Check out Glidden, they have some fantastic colors. If you go to HDepot they will mix them in Behr. ItÃ¢ÂÂs so much easier with that brand because the chit color is pretty much the dried color. Look at chits with the Warm Spiced Brown or Fresh Baked Pumpernickel and a few others.

Have you seen Behr Olympic Bronze? Nice brown with subtle orange undertones, but still may be too orange for what you are looking for.
