  1 0 I prefer a pale goldish-yellow to pink. I lived in a pink room once and it felt like living in a womb. And not in a good way - more in a get me the hell out of here way! I always get a few sample pots and paint some largish patches. I have no ability to imagine what the colour on the page might look like done large. ozchick answered in House & Home about 1 year ago | Report 2 comments by Kristin Bell and legomyland… 0 0 thanks ozchick...good point about the womb scary thing... Kristin Bell commented about 1 year ago | Report 1 0 I'm commenting on all these old posts. Uh, my mom used to hate pink, so I didn't get to wear it. Now she's had a renaissance, and has Fuschia rugs, curtains, artwork in her place. It really is like walking back into her "womb". I mean, it's creepy bb. Then, she wants me to eat something.

  1 0 Both colors will be difficult to get complete coverage in 2 coats unless you go with a tinted primer or a product from BenjaminMoore called "AURA".   jtea858 answered in House & Home about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by Kristin Bell… 0 0 thanks! :) Kristin Bell commented about 1 year ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 0 I like a really pale pink for a bedroom, but only with complementary furniture. If you have lots of white or pastel furniture, or are in the market for new furniture, pink might be a nice choice. Anything brighter than very pale pink will get old fast, as I learned after insisting on painting my room bubblegum pink when I was a kid. Although, since the room is all in one, yellow might be better. Pink is a very feminine and romantic color, which makes it nice for a bedroom, but yellow is more all purpose. keshmeshi answered in House & Home about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by Kristin Bell… 0 0 thank you! good points! :) Kristin Bell commented about 1 year ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 0 Yellow, preferable pale yellow, as it will reflect more light and make it look more appealing. Pink is cute for a girls' room, but it doesn't do much more over time. Especially if the room faces north or west (0r if the windows only face that direction, it will maximize the light illuminating the room. Blues or green will make it feel cooler. Warmer colors like Orange, yellow and some darker reds will make it feel warmer. Hope this helps. When is the housewarming party?

  1 0 I recommend taking a trip to where you plan to purchase the paint and picking out a few swatches in different shades of each color to take home and test against the walls you intend to paint. That will give you a much better indicator of how the color will look in your home, rather than under the harsh glow of fluorescent light in a retail environment. That sort of subjective testing will likely go a long way toward helping you make your decision.

  1 0 Find a yellow room and a pink room somewhere out in the world. Which makes you happier? What does your stuff match better? Which do you look better in when you wear it (something I think I read in a Margaret Atwood book (of all places) said the character liked pink restaurants because they were flattering to practically everyone), which is only a bonus if you look at yourself in the mirror a lot, because otherwise who cares? You could also do both colors (stripes? plaid? two walls yellow two walls pink? 3 and 1? Could go for a peach, combine both). BasementDweller3 answered in House & Home about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by Kristin Bell… 0 0 good ideas! I think I might do one small wall pink and the bigger wall yellow. :) I would do stripes of some kind, but someone else is going to paint it, and we need to keep the difficulty to a minimum. :) Kristin Bell commented about 1 year ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 Go for a peachy shade in between the two. It's a happy warm color, and easier to work with than either one. For whatever reason, I don't like pastel shades on walls. I like more definite colors. Painting a room pink and yellow would look like an Easter egg to me.

  0 0 I'm imagining that the natural light in a garage is limited so you're dependent on artificial lights.  The advantages of pale yellow are (IMO) reduced when you're using more lamplight. I'd never consider candy-box pink for a room (or anything else), but a deep pink like this might be a fun way to go. You could style up the room in a really interesting way: cushions, dried flowers, hangings, etc. CleverScreenName answered in House & Home about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by Kristin Bell… 0 0 thanks! actually, I just got a skylight put in and there is a big window, so the light during the day isn't too terrible :) Kristin Bell commented about 1 year ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.
