Lets talk paint...

Here are the colors that I painted our living room...

This is not really my living room, but one of the sample pictures on the Behr website.


The lighter wall is Castle Path and the darker wall is Mocha Accent. Both are Behr paints from Home Depot. I got them in the satin finish because I wanted a little sheen to them and it's also easier to clean then some other finishes.


Overall I'm very happy with the colors. I love the darker one (Mocha Accent). It's a brownish, olivish, grayish color. It's hard to explain but it's very modern and relaxing to me. The lighter one is just a light beige really but it looks good with the darker walls.


I think that I'm going to accent with a bluish/green and some hints of orange here and there. Not sure yet... All I know is that I love the way that this picture looks...

Yes this is an outdoor picture on a dock, but I really love how these colors go together and am trying to figure out how to put this in our living room...

I'm glad you specified that that wasn't your living room - I was about to get SO WAY jealous :)

I love the colors! We've got olive couches, so it complicates things.

I love those colors too. Especially the darker one. I am going to do an accent wall in our living room and I may just have to copy you with the Mocha color. Hope you don't mind.
