Okay, I give up. Bring on the professionals.
So I did very careful research on grayish-blue-green colors to use with my dark panelled walls in the BH.
I got lots of great suggestions. I chose 19 colors.
Today my DH and DD painted sample boards.
I need to try them in the BH of course, but I thought id just look at them against my cherry wood counters, since it is similar to the panelling in the BH.
Umm. I don't like any of them so far.
::: pulling hair out :::
It occurred to me, duh, that everyone recommending these colors used them against white wood work, in all likelihood. The cherry toned wood pulls red into the paint color and totally messes with it.
Boo hoo. I think I totally messed up. Farrow and Ball does in home color consult, and that is sounding pretty good right now, LOL.
The other thing that occurred to me, and am sure smart people have some term for this, but going with TOO light paint color won't lighten the room ... the very light wall will just make the wood feel EVEN darker.
