We have a winner!

After lots of discussions and poring over the color catalog, we have agreed on a paint color. Actually, David hated the color at first, but I think I harassed him enough that he has finally given in. He should know by now that he is no match for my stubbornness. :) Whatever it takes, you know!

David affectionately calls it "orange", but the actual color is "ginger bite." It's hard to describe - kind of a peachy brown. It's a few shades lighter than the glaze on the cabinets and the floor color. I think it will look very nice. I was especially excited to see that Erin (the color expert) picked it out as a good choice before she even knew that was what I was considering.

Here's the color swatch, although it looks a little different on the walls:



And, here are a few patches of it on the walls (it's the lighter of the two colors - I actually really liked the brown also, but was afraid it would be too dark when it was on all the walls):







Now, on to the tile selection...

That COULD also be considered "Flesh," so I think I deserve some props too.

I like it!

I thought you said "flesh" was Neal's suggestion. No props for you! Besides, it's not PC - remember, we have a family member in our household whose flesh is much tanner than that color!
