i would like a few websites where you can look at paint colors that are southwestern looking?

Question

i am painting my bathroom and would love to paint my walls in a mexican/southwestern color

Answer 1

blackfootgirl,
Looking at paint colors on web sites doesn't do the colors justice. I suggest that you visit a local paint retailer and see for yourself what they have to offer. Granted, most will be a buck or two more expensive than discount stores, but it could be worth it to get something you actually want.

PS I like the idea of using a southwestern/spanish color in a bathroom. Mind if I use it?

Answer 2

Benjamin Moore and Sherman Williams both have good websites. Too, B. M. has a program where you can buy 2 oz samples of colors in order to try them on your walls and see how they look with your lighting.
When I think of Mexican or southwestern colors, I think of intense, saturated tones. If you apply make-up in your bath room, you will have the issue of the strong color on the walls being reflected onto your skin. Then when you step out of that space into any other color light, your make-up may look washed out or pale. Perhaps the answer is painting the moldings or the cabinets the strong color and the wall something a little softer.
