However, there are other great white colors. Yes, you could paint everything linen white. Please enjoy the new and (hopefully) improved post about no-fail paint colors. I realized when I was creating the Laurel Home Essential Paint Collection that what I was seeing on my monitor WAS very close to how the colors look in real life at least, from Benjamin Moore. In addition, some of the images are different and of course, the graphic for the colors is going to be more accurate. This will also serve to bring the post up-to-date. Therefore, I’m going to edit some parts and leave some in so that we can have a little fun. In addition, the writing for this particular post and probably others is not altogether to my liking 4.5 years later. Please note that some paint companies do put up colors that look quite different than their colors do, in real life– on ANY monitor. Knowing that the colors were off, I wished the graphic hadn’t circulated all over pinterest, but alas, it did. And of course, I didn’t really pee on them. I hope that you didn’t just choke over your French toast. I peed all over the images before I uploaded them. Like, no, the dog did not pee all over your screen.

So, when I got my Macbook Pro four years ago, I was horrified to see that most of my “perfect” color-corrected images had a sickly yellow cast to them. Later, I realized that the Lenovo put a blue-ish cast on everything. Foolishly, I believed with all of my heart that the colors I was looking at were the right colors and Benjamin Moore screwed up. I mean HORRIBLE!Īt the time, I was working on a Lenovo PC. Still, even with that success, I didn’t do much to promote this post about no-fail paint colors and here is why.įirst of all, the graphic I made is HORRIBLE. I take everything I say very seriously, (even when I’m joking) ] but when I first wrote this, the blog was still not very widely read and it never occurred to me that somebody would actually blindly go out and get the colors and use them for their home. And do you know what happened after that? No, of course you don’t. And guess what? A few went out and got the colors and painted their rooms with them. You don’t.īut, over time, thousands of people have read this post. I didn’t say that you have to use every color. :]īack then, I figured that this palette could work in some fashion or other for just about every house and I still think that. I knew that you’d want to know that and I think that I have a fairly lucid answer. So, what gives? Why are you re-writing the post, Laurel and why did you say yes you can have a no-fail palette and now, you’re flip-flopping? And, well, at that time, I actually said that it is possible. Well, that would certainly be nice, but the answer should be “no, not in every situation.”īut I need to stop here for a sec and state that this post is a revision of an old post from 4.5 years ago. Is there such a thing as a palette of say, nine colors that one could just mix and match and they would look great in any home, no matter the situation or room? So, are there no-fail paint colors, Laurel? (click here for the recipe for the world’s best chocolate cake)Īnd in discussions with my colleagues, they get similar inquiries. It’s as if they’re assuming that Laurel has the answer for this as if I’m handing out a recipe for chocolate cake. Ps: we do like sophisticated colors and more earthy shades if that helps. Help! Could you recommend some no-fail paint colors? We’re desperate! I’m attaching a floor plan to give you an idea of the flow. Should we just paint everything some shade of white?Ĭertainly that would be better than what’s there, but we would prefer not to have to paint twice. We love the house, but the previous owners have lots of hideous wallpaper and disgusting neon-colors that we cannot live with. In addition, I’m 8 months pregnant with our third child. We’re closing on our home next week and the painter says that he needs to know what colors we’re using? We went to the paint store, but have absolutely no idea what will work.
The typical inquiry reads something like this… It would seem based on the number of queries I’ve received over the years that what folks really want is a palette for no-fail paint colors. Behr concrete bonding primer.Picking paint colors is probably the most difficult decorating issue of all.
