Better Homes and Gardens Another color question: What paint color do you love as much on the wall as you did on the paint sample? How did you choose it?

Navy blue - but I actually didn't pick it off a sample, I took my curtains in and had them color matched. I was afraid it would be too dark, but it's very rich and soothing.

the green wall color in our bedrooms is my favorite...it came from a stripe in a sofa that is in our den!

I did a bright blue and bright green in my Grandsons room. I was worried it would look gaudy but I love it and get compliments on it all the time!

a terra cotta/orange color in my kitchen. I knew I wanted some shade of pumpkin but then picked out green marble laminate for the countertops. Went through so many paint swatches until I found the right color. Cabinets & appliances are white and I use yellow and sage green as accent colors.

Divine paint from Miller is fantastic! Color on the sample is exactly what turned out on the wall.

I have a bright apple green in my kitchen! I love it, I am really not much of a cooker and the color just makes me happy!!

Navy blue...but we didn't use it on walls....we matched the color to our kitchen tile. We painted the recessed panels and the moldings around the 3 doors that lead into the kitchen. It really gave our kitchen a bold personality!

Sonic lime in my new office space. Love it! Bright and cheery. I did the sample mini cans at Lowes. Very inexpensive way to try before you buy! We picked a few colors and painted a sampling area.

I had a crazy difficult time choosing "the perfect tan" for a few rooms in our home - I think we went through about 10 samples! After painting them on the walls, Toasted Almond by Pittsburgh Paints was a total winner! Now my parents have used it in their home, and they love it as much as we do.
