    I'm seeing a grey-lavendar color the most with shades of oatmeal and cream on the side. I'd print the pics and take it to get color matched at the paint store.

    I see the dominant color being a light gray with soft touches of warm golds and cream to balance the coolness of the gray. Mixed with some rustic charm here and there with touches of elegance being the jewelry of the room. Good luck! Can't wait to see what you do:)

    Beautiful images and so evocative. I see white, cream, grey and beige but the main thing they have in common are the textures. I think this is the most important element of the pictures. :) xx

    well, lets check my fan deck, Benjamin Moore CC-940 Blue Viola...2117-50 Spring Violet...2166-50 African Violet...they seem to be the closest that I can find. Get samples and check them out in your light.

    Beautiful, beautiful color. Look at Sherwin Williams' website - Veiled Violet #6268 or Mysterious Mauve #6262. (I love to play with their Color Visualizer.)

    I see a powdery desaturated plum/lilac dressed up with guilded gold and gray silks but simplified with cottons and linens. Looks scrumptous!

    I do hope that you will share with us your new designs!

    Janet, I cannot wait to see what you wind up with ... I know it will be gorg ! On my Pittsburg Paints fandeck I'm getting the color "Ancestral". It's a lighter version of a brownish plum.

    Dear Janet,
    I can definitely see grey as the dominant colour. Those photographs are all filled with my favourite colour combinations.
    Sorry that I've been AWOL. I have just returned from a week with my sister while our husbands have been to LeMans. I am now way behind with my commenting and I am busy catching up !! Hope all's well with you and yours. XXXX

    I see a soft silver, but you may have to do two different colors for that richness - good luck and don't forget to share!
