What are muted paint colors and how do I ask for them?

I like the pale greens and beiges used on hgtv.can you give me some names of the paintsWhat are muted paint colors and how do I ask for them?
You go to a paint store, look at their colour chips, pick one you like. They have hundreds to choose from. If you have something that has a colour you like on it, you bring it to the store and they can sometimes match that colour by computer. It has never worked for me but you can try. Muted means softened or greyed so the colour isn't bright. Muted blue might be slate blue, for instance.What are muted paint colors and how do I ask for them?
i have no clue. Look on hdtv!

Paint colors for bedroom?

I'd like to do a oak wood trim with half wall one color and half another color. Which colors are good together and does the lighter color go on top or on bottom? I love all colors - any ideas would be great.Paint colors for bedroom?
I would stick with a warm color since oak is a warm-toned wood. Lighter color on top (otherwise it makes the ceiling appear to be ';sinking'; into the room and give you a closed-in cave feeling).





I would also stay with two colors on the same paint chip - light and dark shades of the same tone.





The smaller the room, the lighter or more neutral tone you should pick. With a large room you can go a little bolder....go all out and pick anything you like. It's just paint and paint is cheap, so if you don't like it, you just cover it up.Paint colors for bedroom?
Go to Sherwin Williams and pick up a paint pallet. They give you this thing that has a color sample of every color imaginable. Pick two colors from the same card for a sublte shade difference or two colors from different cards for a stark contrasting difference. Personally my bedroom is done in two shades of green as well as my dining room in two more shades of another green. My office is done in red and yellow. My dining room has a chair rail so I have the darker color on the bottom. You could do it the opposite way but I tend to think that would make the room feel a bit smaller. My other rooms I have three walls in one color and the 4th wall as a different color. You can also go on Sherwin Williams website or Behr paints website and they have programs where you can paint walls in a room. It's really fun! I created one room in Red, Beige and Black to have an Asian theme. Loved it, but was afraid to use red in my house (very hard color to match). Have fun!!!
wait.. before u choose a color of ur own.. just hold on.. check if it matches the direction as per FENG SHUI.. trust me.. if u but wrong colors in wrong sides it will affect ur relationship, ur work, ur peace at home too...

I would go with a bold color on the bottom and a very light neutral color on top.


Also, at Menards in the paint section they have a display with small jars of color. Don't know who came up with this idea but I think it's fabulous. Before you commit to any colors you can buy a couple of these sample jars and test. I think their only a couple dollars each. Good luck.
Try a light creme and then try a dark creme.
Sounds great! I definately think the darker should go on the bottom and lighter on top. The colors depend on your favorite, do you prefer pastels or darker shades or primary colors? If you like the darker shades, I'd do a tan or brown on the bottom and a pale yellow or sage on the top. You could also go two shades of the same color. Like an off white on the bottom and a brighter white on top. Best of luck! :)

How do bodyshops match cars paint colors. (Like) how can they make the same exact paint again for any car?

There is a microscope website to take samples and describe to you the actual paint. Rarely a paint is achieved


with layering effects like greys from a white base. This site


tells you in a miniature sample and will describe what paint


stocks are available and how to apply those for total repaints. Patch repairs is litely different.http://www.corel.comHow do bodyshops match cars paint colors. (Like) how can they make the same exact paint again for any car?
Take a chip of paint from the car, they are able to test it that way and match it.How do bodyshops match cars paint colors. (Like) how can they make the same exact paint again for any car?
Every car has its colour code on a plate under the bonnet, this colour is made up by a paint supplier, then tinted over until it's an exact match,


some colours fade badly, or metallics lose there metallic look, these have to be allowed for in the tinting,


there are now machines available that will give you an exact match.
your car carries a matal tag, on the door post, usually. it gives the paint number for that car. they just use that number. easy.
My truck will be needing painted since Walmart drove the side of my truck against their building. The dealer says that they can match my paint with the VIN and they can also use a paint matching machine with a chip of paint from my truck
Most assembly line cars use standard paints from a specific year with a serial number associated with it. Like 1998 ford forest green #h1096 etc. The shop just orders it and goes to work. Of couse 9 year old paint will most likely need to be buffed out to match the new paint. Some custom paints need to be mixed by an expert to match.
If they are a modern shop,they will have a paint mixing station.This station will have all the colors to mix any color on any car or truck.The paint code is printed on all cars in the vin no. in the door post or glove compartment These colors are then blended or tinted to match your color to the tee.(if they are pro,s) like me(smile)

What are the most popular colors to paint your kitchen?

I want black cupboards.We are re-selling the house in a year.What would the magority of people like?What are the most popular colors to paint your kitchen?
This depends on what mood you are trying to create.


( I always check the new color trends before painting)


Though, I personally prefer spicy colors.


read this:





';Biscuit and wheat neutrals, cocoa brown, pumpkin orange and cinnamon apple pie, are just a few of the comfort colors that will wrap your room with warmth and promote a stress-free space';





';Yellows and blues, leaf-like greens, along with organic browns combine to bring the outdoors in. Add translucency and a glass like quality by incorporating varying paint sheen levels. As a subtle accent color, add rust or copper-like metallics into the scheme. Bedrooms and bathrooms are perfect places to incorporate the back to nature hues or in rooms where an accent wall is employed.';





';From clean, clear reds and deep plums to the sophistication of black and white, this color group works both as an accent and as an elegant backdrop for many living spaces. Polished brass metallics complement this scheme. Dining, living rooms and especially powder rooms will benefit from this bold and spicy palette.';What are the most popular colors to paint your kitchen?
I would go with a pale yellow or poss. something neutral.
Stay with light colors in the kitchen. Certain pastels are not right in the kitchen but very light yellow is a pretty color as are the earth tone colors. Go to Lowes %26amp; pick up some Kitchen Remodeling magazines, %26amp; you may find a nice color that way. Black cupboards in a kitchen would not turn me on. I like a light kitchen.
I just sold a house that was very colorful and bought one that had aweful paint. Depending on what other colors you have - I would go with a light green (pistacho) or yellow. These (2) colors are very popular right now. And really pretty together.
Stick with something neutral like beige, tan, coffee colored. If you must have color make it something light- like yellow so if the buyers want to paint over it they wont have to put primor up.
the most popular colours are yellow , green and peach,, - all in very soft colours,, to keep it bright..

With the brown furniture, you have lots of choices of colors, because you can easily (and not too expensively) change throw pillows.





With that in mind, I love soft green colors (my living room is called Sprig of Sage). You can use some blues as well as some reds with that. good luck
My daddy paints houses and i have learned what goes with what but that's is not the point... I would have to say like a creame color or a mochaish color.... or even a and anext wall of white... i think that would look very good... Or what we have is a mocha wall with the other walls in our T.V room a few shades lighter...


I really do hope this helps...
Baby blue sounds like a great choice I love a light blue wall it gives a soft look to the room.



Sand (light tan) with one wall in a medium blue. The blue wall should be the main focal wall.
i think it would be nice to paint the walls baby blue and then paint the moldings brown, or vise verse
Well if you want a suttle look Id go for a darker blue.


Or you could use bright red.
Terra cotta.

What colors to paint my room and how?

I want to paint my room Pink but since i painted over the pink that was on my walls recently(2 years ago) i painted it a mocha color which was a HUGE mistake i have red furniture but can buy new furniture (its old) i decided to paint my room a lighter shade of green close to lime green with other colors that i dont know what they are or how to paint them on my walls %26amp; get pink furniture. My room is small so i need colors that will not make it look smaller than it is!





CAN U HELP???What colors to paint my room and how?
What if you balanced it by going with lighter colors, like aquamarine, pear green and a powdery pink? There was a great painter named Piet Mondrian who did collages of colored blocks and you could do a larger version of his color blocks in your room to tone it down and yet make it fun and lively. Put a band of white about 1'; thick around all the different colors and make it look like a nice piece of finished artwork. Or you could go really Mondrian and paint the walls white with a black 1'; strip framing random blocks of nice soft colors.





Here's a link to some of his work so you can see how cool you can get with it:

Just make sure you prime your wall%26gt; i suggest getting sample colours before you commit to something. I would also get the furniture first them work around it with the paint. Paint is much more inexpensive.
