The house is red brick, trim is white and has white shutters, and has two front doors with concrete steps. I'm painting the steps and front doors and plan to leave the house trimmed in white.Could someone please help me choose a color to paint front doors and steps of a red brick house w/white trim??
I'd try to match the brick color for the steps, then paint the door the same color or stick with the white.Could someone please help me choose a color to paint front doors and steps of a red brick house w/white trim??
we also have a red brick with white trim...when we did the doors i actually matched the door color to my inside wood trim (we have the very wide original trim in our 100 plus y/o home) so the new door is a wood look and it looks like it's always been there...my worry was that a new door would look new on our very old house.
I'd do the stairs the brick red color, you want the door to be a contrasting color, perhaps a heritage color green or shibui color (almost black, drk brown) Mink for door and storm for cement... add a couple of potted evergreen trees by each side of the door.
check Benjamin Moore website:j
http://www.benjaminmoore.com/bmpsweb/por鈥?/a>
A nice subtle yellow might look nice
I would paint the door a hunt green or british racing green semigloss or black. Only problem with green door is a Christmas wreath will vanish on it. Also a copper-patina green--ask at the paint store--would be classic and is excellent with a brick color. Steps should look like stone, so try a grey or cream cement paint. Match the paint to your brick mortar so it matches something. You may ask about adding sand to the paint for texture, but it may wear off the heavily used center of the step if it is a used entrance so maybe texture on the side areas and plain on the step part..
Black or navy blue would look good.
you should play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family %26amp; color name, the ';painted'; rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think a green, like ';gecko'; (# 6719) would contrast the red brick beautifully.

What colors to paint my room?
Pick your favorite color. I know that's such a generic answer but maybe this will help.
A virtual room designer:
http://www.findanyfloor.com/VirtualRoomD鈥?/a>
It's fun to play around with and you'll save$$$ on paint if you know what you like when you go buy it! Instead of returning it because its not the perfect color. Anyway, hope this helps!
I like lavenders, creams, and bronze (weird mix but they looks really good together)What colors to paint my room?
Well, in a bedroom you may want to choose a cool color such as blues or greens as those are soothing and restful, colors like bright reds, yellows and oranges are striking but can be energizing. If you do want to go with something like a bright red then pick one or two walls and do just those walls. Avoid to dark of a shade as dark colors shrink spaces. Apartment hunting one time, I found a room that had a black ceiling, it made the room look tiny. Another good idea is to go to the paint/hardware store and look through the brochures they have with the paint chips, sometimes you can get a really good idea from that. Have fun!What colors to paint my room?
Take your favorite color, and then put different shades of it for each wall. For example, in my room, I have the wall with my door dark green, the sides palish green, and the side with my window in between.

I麓m an esl primary teacher and i麓m wondering what would be the best color to paint a classroom?
I mean if I麓m gonna use flashcards, should I paint it white or gray? is it too boring?I麓m an esl primary teacher and i麓m wondering what would be the best color to paint a classroom?
Paint it with blue or green's pale ones so light comes in and the room looks bigger.
Light colours like blues and greens promote learningI麓m an esl primary teacher and i麓m wondering what would be the best color to paint a classroom?
I'd do a bright color so the flashcards will stand out against the color, and if these kids are from other countries, I don't think Gray is very inviting.
most defently to boring...i use to be in ESOL...our class room was gray and i always felt like painting over it because it looked to pale and dead to me that it would let me concentrate...do a more bright color like a pastel green (but not baby pastel) maybe an light orange ..but always a color that brings in light in the room and one that makes it seem welcoming...
Russell N is right. Light Blue or Green. Although for some reason, personally light green seems a bit too much like a ';hospital';...I'd go with light blue. :)
Thanks for all you do with the kids! God Bless!colon cleansing

We are moving into a house that has 2 extra rooms, and both rooms are painted girl colors.?
We have a boy and we wanted to paint one of the rooms a boyish color, they wont let us paint it because its custom painted, hand painted with a sponge. I respect that, but can anyone else help me figure out how to decorate the room so my son has a boyish looking room, I have heard maybe I can hang bed sheets the color I want over the walls, but thats probably tacky.... PLEASE HELP!!!We are moving into a house that has 2 extra rooms, and both rooms are painted girl colors.?
Let him cover the walls with posters of the things he likes.We are moving into a house that has 2 extra rooms, and both rooms are painted girl colors.?
You can find some cotton material that you like, fold it in quarters then lay it in a tray. Use liquid starch and wet the material well. Do not wring material, more like squeeze out excess starch. Now spread material over the wall, use your hand or a soft brush to smooth the material out. Let it dry before you trim off excess material. When you get ready to move just peel material off of the wall and wash. You can rinse the wall lightly if you think you need to:~) The material needs to be 100% cotton to work
Why can't you paint in your own house? I am not getting that. Is it because it's a rented house? If so, then don't paint. If you bought the house, paint the rooms however you feel like.
you use the girl room, and have him use yours
There's no reason, you can't repaint, before moving in.
I suggest a light blue of some kind, with dark blue stripes.
Perhaps white ceiling with glow in the dark decorations.
Well you didn't specify what color the walls actually are...but you can buy peel n stick wall decals and borders that are more boyish in theme. Maybe you can work the color into some kind of decorative scheme.
dont know why u wrote this in food but if u bought the house u can do whatever u want to it once it is yours if your renting ask them becuase they should understand its a boys room and if all else fails hang sheets on the wall (kinda like wallpaper)
Posters on the walls and models like airplanes, motorcycles, cars hanging from the ceiling or sitting around on furniture might help. How old is the boy? Is the ';boyish'; room to please him or you? It might help you get better recommendations if you post a little more detail.
Bert
Use screens around the room and add various different coloured accessories.
And this is in Cooking %26amp; Recipes - Why!?!?!
You don't say what colors the rooms currently are. If not pink, but more of a purple or something like that, then black accessories and pillows could blend. Or a lot of dark navy or dark green. You really should give us more info to try to help you.

What type and color of paint is best for the inside part of a crockery cabinet?
I have this wooden crockery cabinet made with teakwood grain pattern finish outside. Now i want to paint the inside part(plywood) which is visible from outside with glass showing in front of it. So in your kind opinion which color suits best there? And what kind of paint shall i use there??What type and color of paint is best for the inside part of a crockery cabinet?
I would paint it an off white..looks good with all woods, shows off everything well because it is neutral, and will match any wall colour around it. The off white will make it pop and your eye will be drawn to it because of the light colour and the darker wood..great showcase for your things.What type and color of paint is best for the inside part of a crockery cabinet?

You can get color suggestions %26amp; for $5 they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.
I am a painter and would say definitely go with a neutral off white in the tones opposite color of the dishes, this will accent them. If they are green go in the red tones etc. But have you ever looked at some of the removable contact paper. It might be a great look for a background, some even have texture for something more interesting, easier to do and then you can change easily later if want. Good luck!
Use a latex paint in a satin gloss. What color are the objects you are putting in the cabinet? If they are basically blue...paint the inside (back only not sides) yellow, not too bright.

On the same site there are many Benjamin Moore paint colors featured. There is also a ';Design Your Bedroom'; tab that allows you to choose the bedding you want and then try different colors on the walls to see how they look. There are many colors in their selection that would look good with this set, it all depends on what look you are going for. Here is what I found:
Lighter choices: Blue Allure or Decorators White or Shades Spring - these are very matchy
Deep Rich Colors: Chili Pepper or Graphite - dramatic
Medium Shades: Buxton Blue or Whipple Blue or Shaker Beige - these go well but are a little more creative.
Have fun!What color paint would look best with this type of bedding?

i would choose green because it is in the bedspread but less dominant than blue

Any suggestions on color to paint kitchen with tans and browns?
We are remodeling and bought marble brownish countertops and similar colored vinyl floor tile. Me and husband both disagree on the best color to paint the entire kitchen which would include the cabinet doors. Our trim will be white. We are going to use silver hardware for the cabinets. I say some shade of green, and he thinks some shade of blue.Any suggestions on color to paint kitchen with tans and browns?
I won't give you a specific color, but I will suggest some parameters of color theory that might help you both come to a decision, or make sense of colors that you 'feel' might look right.
Brown is somewhere in the middle of the color wheel. Made of a mix of colors from opposite colos traveling towards each other. for example green + red = brown.
Try to analyze your current browns to see where on the color wheel they might have originated. You can also compare it to other browns and might find yourself saying 'our countertop seems like it has an undertone of orange, even though it is brown'.
In that case pick something either very close by on the color wheel like an amber, or go diretly across the color wheel to some kind of blue color.
This is how you come up with a complimentary or analagous color scheme. It's definitely a bit more science-y, but it might help you understand better why you feel more right on with one color more than another.
Here is a color wheel and color scheme guide from Behr that should be very helpful. Good luck!!
http://www.behr.com/behrx/inspiration/ar鈥?/a>Any suggestions on color to paint kitchen with tans and browns?
I would suggest a light coffee and cream color on the walls. It goes with just about anything and is very appetizing.
For the cabinets, have you thought about painting the upper cabinets one color and the bottom cabinets a different color? Or if you have any island paint it a different color?
We painted our cabinets white and added wainscoting to the ends. One of the best decisions we ever made! We also have brushed silver knobs and drawer pulls.
With the dark sounding countertop and floors I would suggest a lighter color, at least on the top.
You could paint the upper cabinets white and the bottom cabinets a dark navy blue. With the coffee walls and brownish countertops it would look very classy.
I would upload a picture for you if it were possible.
Good luck!
Had a blue kitchen but it just didnt seem kitcheny. I dont know why but I felt the blues belonged more in a bedroom. I like bright colors in a kitchen so I would go with shades of green. Myself, I am a traditionalist...yellow kitchen with bright farmhouse borders and stainless steel pots on the wall. With your colors, a nice bright green would look great.
There are blue-greens you could look for. Also some greens go gray so really look at the paint chips inside your home in the daylight. Any light fixtures inside the house will turn the color into something other than the true color. Also countertops will reflect color onto the walls as well as the floor covering.
orange. Zing it up a bit
BEIGE!
You should paint the walls in a pastel yellow.
If you use a dark one than the room will seem to dark.
Add some small green plants with cream colored flower pots.
Then you might want to add some decorative glass containers with sunflowers.
Compromise and paint the walls a rich teal/aqua color. Teal will go really well with your countertops and floor tile and the white trim will really pop off of the teal.
I say a warm neutral, like ';twilight gray'; by sherwin williams:

I need to make the texture and color of paint without actually wasting paint?
I'm am doing a project for my photography class. I need to take buckets of ';paint'; and pour them onto people. I was think water and cornstarch with dye colors but I'm not sure if there is a better way. I wont actually be painting anything just pouring. I want it to be safe for my skin and eyes. I need it to be washable and able to come out of clothes. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thank you.I need to make the texture and color of paint without actually wasting paint?
Safe for your eyes and skin but what about them?
Just use milk (reg, low fat, soy, goat, it doesn't matter) thickened with cornstarch. Then take the image into an image editor like Photoshop and change the colors of the milk. You can create a mask, copy it to a layer then tint it to any color, adjust the transparency, contrast and saturation.
Don't use dyes or you will ruin everyone's clothing.

I want to paint my house, but can't decide what color? Can I preview some colors with a pic?
Go to a home improvement store. Some stores have displays that allow you to look at paint colors under different lighting styles. It is handy when painting the outside of the house because you can see how the paint color will really look in the sun or under florescent lights.

My friend, I've been buying paints for my art for many years and I don't ever remember seeing a color on the shelves called 'Burnt Orange.' I'm sure there is such a color because that is the school color of such teams as the Texas Longhorns. But as an artists' color I don't remember ever seeing any. However, there is a shade of Orange, called 'Orange Oxide' that is as close to burnt orange as you'll find without having to make your own. Try looking for Orange Oxide the next time you're in an art supply store or go on-line and search the art stores on-line.What colors do you mix together to make burnt orange?

try home depot.
i know you mix yellow and red paint to make orange, but burnt orange maybe add a little brown paint to it to make it darker or you can find it at any craft store even walmart has an arts and craft section if you don't have a arts and craft store nearby. my husband is a fan of the longhorns too he is from texas! but we don't live there
I would try cadmium red, cadmium yellow and a bit of burnt sienna. Try an art supply store for the paint.
The primary colors of Red %26amp; Yellow mixed together make orange, add a bit of black or white %26amp; it changes the shade to colors such as burnt orange. Look in the yellow pages for art supplies or go to any chain store like Walmart (not to promote this store) %26amp; they usually have a section in the craft supplies area or stationary area. Good Luck
A longhorn fan, eh? heh heh
I would say brown and orange.
Red, Brown and yellow
You're safe following the answers you just got before me. No need to attempt to look for Burnt Orange paint. It's not commercially available anywhere in the world. Mix it yourself.
You can mix yellow and red to make orange and add brown or black to make it burnt orange
Although adding brown to orange seems like the logical way to drab bright orange and make it ';burnt'; it may actually create a muddy and unattractive color depending to the recipe used to make the brown. You're better off using the opposite color to orange (on the color wheel) to drab it, which in this case would be blue. Use very very small amounts til you get the desired darkening.
This works as a way to darken any color . You can make you own basic color wheel by divide a circle into 6 pie shaped sections. Color one true blue, skip a space, color is true red, skip a space, color the third true yellow. Then on the white spaces in between, blend the two colors next to it to make the secondary colors.
But where to buy your paint is a much more difficult question since you don't say what type of paint you are looking for. If you live in a college town, their book store may have art supplies at an affordable price. There are also, on the east coast anyway, art stores such as Dick Blick, AC Moore's and Michael's which will have a variety of paints - fabric, oil, watercolor, acrylic and craft paints designed for almost any substrate. And of course, there are hundreds of online suppliers for craft supplies. Even Dick Blick has an online presence.
Any of the home improvement stores and name brand paint stores will custom blend colors for you. They have dozens of paint samples for you to pick the color you want and some have computers which allow color matching to other items, such as a pillow. Most will even mix colors in as small an amount as a pint, although gallons are much more common. The home/house paints come in latex, alkyd and oil bases.colon cleansing

What is a good color to paint a teen room?
umm well im fixing to paint my room and i have no idea what i want to paint it. My room is already lime green so i don't think i want green again if anybody has any suggestions please answer!!What is a good color to paint a teen room?
i think that any sort of blue looks good on walls. i'm a teen too and i have blue walls right now and it looks really good. and remember that if you have dark walls your room will seem smaller. and you don't want bright orange or bright yellow walls because they stimulate your brain and make it hard to fall asleep.What is a good color to paint a teen room?
Maybe you want a more grown up room and paint it taupe or cream or tan. I suggest checking out paint swatches and hgtv.com for some inspiration. Hope this is helpful. Roxanne
dark purple
pink and black

Could someone please help me choose a color to paint front doors and steps of a red brick house w/white trim??
The house is red brick, trim is white and has white shutters, and has two front doors with concrete steps. I'm painting the steps and front doors and plan to leave the house trimmed in white.Could someone please help me choose a color to paint front doors and steps of a red brick house w/white trim??
I'd try to match the brick color for the steps, then paint the door the same color or stick with the white.Could someone please help me choose a color to paint front doors and steps of a red brick house w/white trim??
we also have a red brick with white trim...when we did the doors i actually matched the door color to my inside wood trim (we have the very wide original trim in our 100 plus y/o home) so the new door is a wood look and it looks like it's always been there...my worry was that a new door would look new on our very old house.
I'd do the stairs the brick red color, you want the door to be a contrasting color, perhaps a heritage color green or shibui color (almost black, drk brown) Mink for door and storm for cement... add a couple of potted evergreen trees by each side of the door.

A nice subtle yellow might look nice
I would paint the door a hunt green or british racing green semigloss or black. Only problem with green door is a Christmas wreath will vanish on it. Also a copper-patina green--ask at the paint store--would be classic and is excellent with a brick color. Steps should look like stone, so try a grey or cream cement paint. Match the paint to your brick mortar so it matches something. You may ask about adding sand to the paint for texture, but it may wear off the heavily used center of the step if it is a used entrance so maybe texture on the side areas and plain on the step part..
Black or navy blue would look good.
you should play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family %26amp; color name, the ';painted'; rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think a green, like ';gecko'; (# 6719) would contrast the red brick beautifully.

What colors to paint my room?
Pick your favorite color. I know that's such a generic answer but maybe this will help.

It's fun to play around with and you'll save$$$ on paint if you know what you like when you go buy it! Instead of returning it because its not the perfect color. Anyway, hope this helps!
I like lavenders, creams, and bronze (weird mix but they looks really good together)What colors to paint my room?
Well, in a bedroom you may want to choose a cool color such as blues or greens as those are soothing and restful, colors like bright reds, yellows and oranges are striking but can be energizing. If you do want to go with something like a bright red then pick one or two walls and do just those walls. Avoid to dark of a shade as dark colors shrink spaces. Apartment hunting one time, I found a room that had a black ceiling, it made the room look tiny. Another good idea is to go to the paint/hardware store and look through the brochures they have with the paint chips, sometimes you can get a really good idea from that. Have fun!What colors to paint my room?
Take your favorite color, and then put different shades of it for each wall. For example, in my room, I have the wall with my door dark green, the sides palish green, and the side with my window in between.

I麓m an esl primary teacher and i麓m wondering what would be the best color to paint a classroom?
I mean if I麓m gonna use flashcards, should I paint it white or gray? is it too boring?I麓m an esl primary teacher and i麓m wondering what would be the best color to paint a classroom?
Paint it with blue or green's pale ones so light comes in and the room looks bigger.
Light colours like blues and greens promote learningI麓m an esl primary teacher and i麓m wondering what would be the best color to paint a classroom?
I'd do a bright color so the flashcards will stand out against the color, and if these kids are from other countries, I don't think Gray is very inviting.
most defently to boring...i use to be in ESOL...our class room was gray and i always felt like painting over it because it looked to pale and dead to me that it would let me concentrate...do a more bright color like a pastel green (but not baby pastel) maybe an light orange ..but always a color that brings in light in the room and one that makes it seem welcoming...
Russell N is right. Light Blue or Green. Although for some reason, personally light green seems a bit too much like a ';hospital';...I'd go with light blue. :)
Thanks for all you do with the kids! God Bless!
