Our dilemma is INTERIOR paint color for a room that is using avocado and orange with a little white & yellow.
Plain white walls seem so “rental”… but yellow seems TOO bright… any green shades would make the room too green (the large sofa is green) and orange is not happening.
We can do lauan or grass cloth on one focal wall… but then what on the rest of the wall?
HELP!!!

(Thanks.)

My husband and I just bought a 1955 raised ranch. It is in desperate need of paint outside. We cannot come up with colors that will look good on the house. We want to keep the 1955 feel but also make it more “modern”.

Any help from anyone – please? And thank you!
