Does anyone know the wall color name/brand?  That is the color I want to paint the walls in my sunroom.  

 

I have around 10 different blue-gray paint chips and can't decide which ones to swatch on the wall.  Color always looks so different on the wall than on the little paint chip.

Always go a shade lighter than what you want to end up with. 

A room of colored walls appears a shade darker from all of the concentrated color.

 

The color is a grayed robin's egg blue.

Boy, don't I know this!  The color of the sunroom is now a medium green and it's way too intense.  It makes me wince, lol.  I want a muted blue that is peaceful and relaxing.

Pretty little seating vignette. Like the print, but agree with @ECBG, would prefer to see the ottoman used as an ottoman and an actual table in its place to be used, well, as a table. Imagine that.

Very attractive.  I never use an ottoman in front of a sofa.  They've "pushed that concept to exhaustion".  

The origonal idea was "to provide extra seating", yet the ottoman is too close to the couch to allow seating.


@ECBG But it is there to serve food on, put your feet up on, and if it has a lid, to hide the magazines and paper napkins when company rings the doorbell unexpectedly.

I would never eat on an upholstered surface, it seems an "accident waiting to happen".

This seating area is nice with the soft colors. I like the blue wall & area rug.  I'd like the ottoman if it had a different pattern.  Not a fan of the side table that is cluttered on top - accessories also block the art on the right side.  I'm not a fan of open shelving either, but it isn't bad as it doesn't take over the room.  Thank you for sharing.
