dmaceld, my wife wanted me to ask what color you used on your walls! lol
It's called "Such a Peach" from Kelly-Moore. Just don't count on your monitor, and my photo, to accurately show the color. That's in this bedroom, which is #3. Master is a light blue and #2 is "Niners Gold." Baths and utility are an ivory. Living, halls, dining, and inside of closets are "Cozy Cotton", and off white. Kitchen is a deep yellow. The trim is custom color match to Andersen window white. The garage and outside trim around doors is a white color matched via chip selection to the garage doors. All the paint comes from Kelly-Moore.
It's unbelievable how colors change under different lighting. The white that matches the garage door in sunlight has a distinct lavender hue under fluorescent, and doesn't match the garage door. The trim paint changes color under different lighting much more than do the windows, and they're the same color! In the evening, when daylight is fading, the trim has a very strong gray cast. I almost took the Cozy Cotton back because the first bit of painting with it, which was illuminated with a 500w halogen work light, was much deeper in hue than it was supposed to be. But under daylight it's just what we wanted!
Just make sure that whatever color you fall in love with at the paint store looks as good under the lighting conditions you will be looking at it most of the time.
