Parakeet Paint

Wanted: The perfect color blue-green  paint.

That matches the background of my Parakeet wallpaper.

I am considering Sea Salt by Sherwin Williams.

It goes nicely with Dover White which is a great white.

The Wheat Grass is nice in the mix too.

In a lightless room like a bathroom it is probably less pastel.

Another interesting color I am researching is Pale Silver via Restoration Hardware:

Looks very similar to Sea Salt.

Can’t wait to compare them side by side.

Again, Pale Silver’s truer color reveals itself in less light.

Heading to Sherwin Williams today

and I’ll hit up Restoration Hardware next week in Dallas.

I am also having paint matched to the wallpaper background.

I’ll share what I find.

Hopefully, one of these colors will be perfect :)

Actually, I may paint my great room walls IF I get brave. OR for bedroom. Then IF it works for me/Hannah may paint it in her lightless basement? Need to see it first. Such a process!
