Need Help Choosing Paint for Nursery!

ayo · Coach

hmm my first thought is maybe a light green...sort of on the minty green side of things...but I think there could be better than that..

rar210 · Marc Jacobs

Ayo, I thought about that. But I don't think the little lgreen alligator and catterpillar would show up well. My original thought was the burnt orangey/reddish color in the ABC letters and the bear's honey bowl. I'm so undecided!

deep apricot! (like the darker stripe in the sheet)

Oh, and I also thought about doing a lighter version of the ABC letters and Bears Honey Bowl which is the orangey color in these sheets

You could do a green a couple shades darker then the mural will show up. Or, I'm not sure of the room layout, but maybe do 3 of the walls green and then the wall with the crib/mural on it do an apricot or even a brown color. Or one more option is to paint all the walls green or a cocoa color and then paint a big yellow square for the mural to be in. Hope that helps, and we want to see pics of the room as you progress with it

YES! that would be perfect...I love that idea..

I was going to say the orange-y color, too! Not too dark, maybe on the terracotta-peach side of the spectrum.

This was my first thought as well.

I like the apricot idea, but I really dig this one:

I would opt for a peachy color. A nursery should be bright! I like Sherwin-Williams delicious melon, papaya, surprise amber, viva gold, torchlight, solaria, june day, and sunrise.
