What a fun and inspirational group of shots! I love that you are promoting more than one wall color. To me, architectural color is all about the energy it creates. Using more colors that are in harmony with each other creates a better feeling space, kind of like a party...the vibration increases!

If you are overwhelmed with choosing multiple colors, I invite you to check out the Color in Space Dwelling Palettes™ and Chakra Palettes™ available for purchase on our website. The palettes are foolproof color and design tools of 12 coordinated and energetically balanced Benjamin Moore and C2 Paint colors. They can be used as color roadmaps for your entire home: decor, architectural finishes, and paint! We're doing our best to educate about metamerism (how colors' appearance changes in response to light conditions and adjacent colors) and provide tools that manage it for you.

Most importantly, thanks for the inspiration to have fun with color!!!

Flow and balance of color is extremely important to me! I am extremely energetically sensitive and am really affected by a space if the colors' relationships are not working well together. I literally feel it! Since our perception of color is a result of light reflected back to us, I have come to understand that light is energy and that's what I'm feeling. Understanding color theory and physics has helped me with managing my sensitivity actually!

Love the balance of the accent colors on the pillow on the bed and the folded blankets and table to either side! Balance is key with color!!!

Natural elegance most definitely in the Arts & Crafts spirit! The serenity speaks to me...thank you!

Thank you for your color tip!!! We need more of us dispelling the myths around architectural color!

"People mistakenly think that painting a room a dark color will make it feel small. Actually, the opposite is true. Dark saturated color like the rich navy blue I used in our living/dining room makes the walls receed & thereby creating the illusion of more space."

Oh, and BambiJo, yes, this will work great on your ceiling tiles to camouflage them! Paint those babies all the time and does a major transformation...spraying works best.

And SydneyBristow, your trim should determine where you can begin and stop your colors. Notice how the blue follows the cove ceiling in #7 and the picture rail resumes the wall color. When ceilings are darker than walls, it actually makes a space feel bigger...provides LIFT to the space...
