I am currently re-designing my daughter's bedroom, and I have decided to go with a bold coral pink 20 inch horizontal stripe. I think it will be a fun companion to the kelly green dresser I recently purchased from The Resplendent Crow, as mentioned in my earlier post,
http://kensingtonbliss.blogspot.com/2017/04/lacquered-green-dresser-bm-grassy-fields.html, along with blue accents.
I am in the throws of paint color selection and it is always a challenge!! I have gathered inspiration pics of various rooms with different shades of coral-y pink...
I am debating between the following pinks:
BM Pink Canopy 010, BM Phoenix Sand 017, BM Coral Buff 024
SW Youthful Coral, Jovial, and Koral Kicks...
Addendum...OK, After testing these fun coral colors, I have concluded that although I LOVE them by day, they lean VERY orange (almost a bad panty-hose stocking look) at night. I've researched that it is better to love your paint color by day than by night. However, with our bedrooms, we spend most of our time in there reading at bedtime, and I think it will be hard to stomach these colors screaming at us. SO, the search continues with a cooler pink. I have SW Hopeful, SW Lovable, SW Bella Pink, BM Smashing Pink, BM Bed of Roses, BM Pink Sea Shell, Behr Blush Rush, and Behr Taffy Twist.
Addendum2 - After living with the samples leaning against the wall, I have decided to stick to the more coral shades, but go much lighter, to give a softer overall look. I am debating BM Rose Petal or BM Pink Harmony. I think a softer, blush shade will have more longevity and is a bit more sophisticated.
