You could choose some egg white, cream, isabella, or a light grey. <BR/>I just chose a colour called Jotun Lady 0904-Y48R (it goes by two names, 'never' or 'cappuccino') for our former dark red(!) kitchen. We're very happy with it.Strikkelisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07702775139240341972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35182822.post-25387440991719885982008-03-03T03:19:00.000+01:002008-03-03T03:19:00.000+01:00I tend to choose light colors for walls, but I am ...I tend to choose light colors for walls, but I am often struck by how "right" deep, saturated colors can look in other people's homes. I am an artist, so I like light, neutral walls that don't compete with the art. To go with those tiles, I might get some samples of a light (but warm) grey. Or a soft beige.<BR/><BR/>I tend to get influenced by the names of paint colors. I think I chose the color of my kitchen (a pale peachy pink) mostly because it was called Sugar Dusted! Is that not a sweet name? It was also the same color as a cafe I used to work in, and I generally felt happy surrounded by that color.<BR/><BR/>Pick something that makes you feel happy!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15203802755345306619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35182822.post-68320354097515873092008-03-03T03:04:00.000+01:002008-03-03T03:04:00.000+01:00How about sage green or slate blue?

I agree with the earlier comment - definitely buy a small sample can to try first. The extent of hubby's involvement can be to look at the sample (once you have one you like) and agree!tracinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03627049867116662749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35182822.post-3151720579089819252008-03-03T02:49:00.000+01:002008-03-03T02:49:00.000+01:00Could you overpaint the current red with some kind...Could you overpaint the current red with some kind of technique to tone the red down a bit?

I recently repainted our kitchen (dreadful ox-blood wall paper!) and I knew I wanted yellow and blue. But the yellow and blue I picked out at the store (from the tiny tiny sample square they give you) was *not* the yellow and blue I actually wanted on my walls, once I got it onto the walls. Luckily the wise man at the paint store suggested we take a small sample can, I think 1/2 liter, and paint a patch of wall to test the color. So, I pass this suggestion on to you. Always swatch first! :)knitxx0rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14307155142453646813noreply@blogger.com
