    Hi Katke, I didn't see your post over there; seems like every time I go to that forum there are so many new threads & I never get to them all.

    Grrr, I was going to post a pic & now see you can't post them directly in this forum. Will run put it in my flikr & come back & post link.

    I'm sorry I don't have a better pic of this room, but it does have a lot of white & cream in it.

    Refined - Aura/Affinity line from Ben Moore is a really pretty color. Not sure how I would define it but in the sunlight it gives off a beautiful light seafoam color. FYI - on my monitor it looks grayish green but in the sunlight it is really pretty. It changes a ton though so I don't know if you would like it in low light (looks more grayish). I just picked up one of the big swatches today and am thinking of using it in the bedroom. A friend just used it in her living room and it is gorgeous! I also really like Spa in the Affinity line as well. but it's not a blue color like you are looking for...

    I would suggest taking both color swatches and looking at them very carefully at various times of the day. And, remember the creme color will tend to bring out more green in any color you choose.

    Thank you all. I'm going to check out the colors you suggested. Per-Parker what is the paint color in the photo you posted?
