Sure! I know, as SuziQ pointed out, that you are all expecting me to say, "orange," but alas, I must follow a theme. (*boring*)

In the living room (on some walls), the hallway to the den, the den, and the upstairs bedrooms hallway, I painted it Behr's "Antique White," which for some reason looks like taupe with a slight green tint to it, on my walls.

In the bedroom, (which is really what you asked about;-) I painted it Behr's "Window Seat" which is a VERY pale yellow with a tint of green to it. It matches the picture leading into the bedroom, and the picture above the bed, which is a painting of a view of being in someone's house and looking out onto the ocean from their patio with those cool roman ballisters and palm trees, and columns. The walls in the painting are the same color as my walls, just a little darker.

In the bathroom, I've chosen "Formal Khaki" which is a pale olive-y green, which match the pillows on our bed.

Everything blends from one room to the next, and all seems to have that same theme to it.

It kind of bugs me though, as the Harvest Gold/Avocado Green themes of yesteryear, keep tapping me on my shoulder as if to say, "See, we WERE a nice color scheme, and you hated us at the time!"

Oh, how I long for a place to paint orange and periwinkle, ...can you say "BEACH HOUSE?" --Maybe some day!

LOL .. I used the same stuff and color on my walls

I was tired of the kiddies marking up the walls so I put a pine wood with chair rail on the bottom part of the wall and painted the top Behr's "Antique White ..

I really do like their paint
