I bought Cafe Cream, eggshall enamel for my living room which is small, low ceiling, and dark (current color is sage). Anyone painted the color? Or any suggestion? Thank youn

Being a neutral creamy ivory color I don't see how you could go wrong.
Just about everything will fit with that color.

Yes, it's neutral so all of your other colors/fabrics, etc. will truly pop off of it.

Any particular reason why you selected enamel?

Thank you all. My painter asked me to buy Behr premium plus but it seems the Behr premium ultra plus interior has flat enamel, eggshall ename, and sateen enamel... I think they just named as enamel. Sateen sounds good but shinier than eggshall. Now I am wondering diffrence between Behr premuim plus and Behr Premium ultra plus.Thank you.

IIRC, the main difference between those two is that the ultra is paint + primer, all in one. Have tested those and I would recommend using a regular primer and then your paint of choice.

JMHO.

Good Luck!

Thank you Blueday. I actually like the color (wasn't sure before) so now I am waiting him to put crown molding (frosty white color). We have low ceiling (7.5') so I hope crown molding gives some depth of height... Thank you!
