Color Me Bad

Do you know that I own two Sherwin Williams color wheels? Each wheel contains every color that they currently sell, which is in the thousands. I own two of them. TWO! Why? I have no idea. Why not! I have forever been slightly obsessed with having color in my home. I have had a yellow bedroom, an apple green bedroom, a red kitchen, a lime bathroom, and on and on. I am currently living in an apartment where we cannot paint. And frankly, I didn't want to. Painting is tedious business. And I would hate to paint it a beautiful color, only to repaint it Chalk White before I leave. So now that I have a house with all white walls, what have I been doing? Daydreaming colors galore. I probably look at those color wheels at least once a day. I need to stop. I am afraid that I will get in the house and just go color crazy and then end up with a 64 box of crayons on the walls. So what to do when you want a grown-up house, with grown up colors? I'm busy figuring that out. In the mean time, here are some photos of color inspiration that make me almost pee my pants when I think how beautiful they'd look in our home.

I love mustard yellows.
The trick is finding one that won't be "Harvest Gold" circa
the 60's and 70's once it is on the walls.

I know this is a bathroom, however this sweet potato/coral color is the main contender for the kitchen. I have chosen a great color similar to this, just a little bit lighter and toned down a bit more, from Glidden's color wheel that I think may work beautifully.

This is the exact color scheme that I will be using in the bedroom. I love the single wall being this beautiful, deep blue. The creamy tan walls help keep it from being too overwhelming, making it just a stunning accent wall.

Although I don't have any walls in mind for this color, I simply love it.
