Hi. I am trying to decide between a russet type color or a green paint to match my new bedding. I am not a great fan of sage, but would use it if it would look best. I definitely want a warm color and would prefer a russety type color, although they all seem to turn pink on me! Any ideas. I posted a close-up of the fabric. Thanks for any advise.

Another pic of whole room. Sun is out and it usually isn't! Please ignore furniture. It is next to go!

One more pic! Paint swatch in back is Audubon Russet, which is WAY too dark.

For a sage that has a hint of mint try BM Par four

(Obviously, they are either no longer allowing colors to be printed on the page or there is a glitch in their system.)

Also see:
BM Pennies from heaven
BM Montana agate
(for the russet look sans pink tone) (maybe)

Pam, I don't believe I can help that much by reviewing a photo.

If this were my room, I would take a pillow case into the paint store and ask them to match whatever color you want. If necessary, I would purchase samples of multiple colors and then try each on the wall(s) in question to view them at different times of the day, in different lights.

Good Luck!

JMHO.
