We had decided to do a very pale, warm yellow to compliment the blue of the bedding and border (alliteration anyone?). The inital color chosen was quite lemony, so we took it back and had it toned down and warmed up. A tester size on the wall revealed a lovely shade, so we went with it. Well, the first coat looked okay, the second coat revealed a slight green tinge to it. Not being able to turn back, we finished the whole room. And it looks lime green.
Only the two of us would be able to choose a shade of yellow that has green in it- considering the last color we wanted was green because our entire house is green. Steve and Molly have numerous talents, but choosing paint color is NOT one of them. Oh well. We're hoping once the crib goes in and the border goes up and the wall stuff is hung, the lemon/lime walls will not be so overpowering.
Here are before and after pics, and one of Ste thrown in:
