Wall Colors


These are the basic house colors (left) and kids' room colors (right).
The wood floors throughout should be dark, without traces of red. Use Sherwin Williams stain color SW3124-P "Pecan" or SW3125-P "Ranch Oak" as a guide. The contractor will send me/you samples of the floor before ordering it, so that we make sure it's not too red. This will ensure that the existing hickory cabinets still look great. All baseboards shall be KM3993-1 "Cloud of Cream". All walls that don't have special callouts shall be KM-3537-1 "Iced Chai". All ceilings (except in the formal dining room) shall be OW228-1 "Pristine Linen". This will look homey and clean, but not so light as to show dust and scuffs right away.
In Yuji's room, KM3419-1 "Spring Farm" will go perfectly with the paintings. In Kyoka's room, choose from KM3906-1 "Fraser Lake", KM3866-1 "Colcannon", or, for a strong statement of blue, KM3106-1 "Blue Dawn".
In the kids' bath, use KM3537-1 "Iced Chai". Find plain 12x12 porcelain tiles for the floor, but be careful that the tiles aren't too white/blue. Laticrete grout color #44 or plain white will go well here.
