When we moved here the living room was white. Well that just wouldn’t do! I painted it yellow; sunny, neutral. Sort of the color of butter mints. Something like this:
Now I’m tired of it. It’s been 5 or 6 years since it’s been painted so it’s due anyway. The stairway meets the living room color in one corner. The stairway is a deep tan like this:
I’m thinking a color like this one may work. It's called Dried Hydrangea. (Ace Hardware)
I don’t want boring but I do want something I won’t tire of quickly. Something in the light gold family. (our living room lamp shades are gold-ish)
I really need to pick up some color chips from the hardware where I get my paint. Hmmm…

i like antique white, and also the color above that on the sherwin williams paint thing :-P that's the color of our office. nice and neutral, and looks good with a lot of different colors.
i actually really like white for a wall color too - seems boring, but if you have great furniture or artwork, i think a white room can also look really nice.
most hardware stores now offer small sample cans of paint which is awesome! then you can try out a couple of colors without having to buy a big gallon.
