You may remember me mentioning how this room has to be painted out. Now I am a little confused about what color would suit the fan.   |

This room was washed out mostly yesterday, still have the ceiling to do but needed the fan to stay cool. We are going to raise the height a little.
The color we thought was a Wattyl i.d. color, but it is actually Dulux, though it doesn't look like Dulux paint. The yellow was meant to go into a blue and white scheme with white/cream carpet which it had once.
It is called Swedish yellow.
We found it in the Dulux Colour Perfection square called Perfect Yellows.
I was going to change it to something like Camomile Cream, but dh likes the color, and I do too. The ceiling is a nice color as well, it is a shame they don't match each other better.
So I guess we have ended up with Moroccan?

I have talked to dh and we are going for a soft green.
It is Dulux Light Ceramic, it comes from the same yellow square I was talking about.
I have one wall covered with a cream old fashioned dresser, and have cream repainted chairs and table. I saw a photo in Australian Country Collections with a similar look with lots of green Depression glass fairly recently. I put the color green near the furniture and was happier with the effect than with the brighter yellow.

The color scheme you've decided on sounds lovely, Br. I personally find a strong yellow hard to live with, whereas the green with your cream furniture sounds very calming.
