Re: PAINT COLORS FOR NORTH FACING ROOMS

@Oznell   Pratt & Lambert is another exceptional paint.  I would think BM, P&L and PPG are in the same price range.

I'd go with cookie dough.

@faeriemoon   That rum punch room is a tad on the darkish side for me. If I'm doing a red room or even just a wall which I suspect many would rather do, I'd choose a brighter red.

 

A real rum punch has more a 'sunset' color to it, a brighter color AND a delish refreshing drink though in the Caribbean made properly you surely cannot drink too many!!! LOL

@Oznell   I gotta say, our butter yellow bedroom faces the east as does the front of the house. When the sun rises in our room it just glows, so very pretty. If that doesn't give a great head start to your day, I'm not sure what will!

So true, @PINKdogWOOD!  I love east facing rooms, for that precious morning light...

Re: PAINT COLORS FOR NORTH FACING ROOMS

I love those colors.  The magnolia blossoms is similar to a Martha Stewart Color I did previously.  It was almost white during the day and got more yellow at night.  I loved it so much I did most of my house in it and it was easy to move from greens to blues to browns in the accents to make each room different.

 

Now that rum punch is interesting.  I'd love that in a bathroom.

The Benjamin Moore stores have a light box where you can put your paint chips in to see what the color looks like in different lights.
