[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a similar off white in our basement, and it looks terrible. Makes it feel darker actually. [/quote]

Damn. Say it ain't so. This search for a color has been exhaustive -- we've already sampled so many.

What would you have gone with instead?[/quote]

FWIW, we didn't pick the color. Prior home owners renovated the basement before selling the house.

I want to do something with color, not so saturated that it's the "green family room" or the "blue basement," but I think it's a mistake to avoid color just because the room doesn't have a lot of natural light. Color actually warms up a room, even if it's from the "cool" side of the spectrum. I'm considering either a blue-ish gray, a warmer gray (love love our dining room color, which is BM Stone Harbor, beautiful with white trim and window treatments, doesn't look nearly as dark as you'd expect), or even an ice blue color. I've seen some really pretty pictures of the latter on Houzz that aren't so scary.

But honestly, you buy 1-2 gallons of BM Natura, decide you don't like the color, and as long as you did the labor, you're only out about $110. Certainly isn't the most expensive renovation mistake you can make. :-)[/quote]
