**Looking for a turquoise-ish color paint for DD bedroom...

[Corie]

My daughter has decided that she is over pink. Her new favorite
color is turquoise.

So, I told her that in her new bedroom here in Ohio, we could paint
her bedroom a turquoise color.

I have no idea where to begin and I have always received such fabulous
paint colors from the BBB!!! My entire house in Rhode Island was picked
by BBB moms recommendations/suggestions!

Please help me!!!

Benjamin Moore - Antiguan Sky - gorgeous. Soft chinchilla (such a strange name, right?) is like a turquoise / robin's egg blue - also gorgeous. Those are my two recommendations

Corie, I am going to try to find the paint color name we used in DD1's bedroom.... it's pretty bright though (in our mostly beige house, LOL!) so you might want to go down one level on the color wheel.

Ok found it - Benjamin Moore 2044 Crystal Clear. Looking at the swatch online it looks lighter than in DD's room. But I still like it!

My son's room is a shade of turquoise and I LOVE it! I tried 3 different colors before I settled on this one. The paint can is in ds's bathroom and he's napping right now but I bought it at Home Depot.
Here are a few pics from when I first did the nursery, I can't find the pics of it completed so excuse the mess!
You can see the difference in color between night and day too!



I think the 2nd pic is the truest color.

That color is so pretty!!! I love the bedding too...I've been checking out some Land of Nod bedding. Do you like it? (Sorry to hijack Corie!!!) I've been loyal to PBK for all other crib/ kid bedding but really like some of their patterns right now at LON.

I did things backwards when i started doing ds's room, i knew the color scheme that i wanted so I had to find bedding that went with it then I finalized the exact color according to the bedding. The quilt and bumper are really nice but the sheet shrunk and i can barely get it on the mattress now, actually several of my sheets of all different brands shrunk so who knows. I bought it on a day when one of the cashback sites had a high % day so I saved a bunch and I had a free shipping code too i think. I would definitely order from them again so I say go for it!

We have a paint chip of Sherwin Williams Embellished Blue on our wall and DH really likes it as a possible color for our room. On the paint chip it looks darker than it does on the computer though:

The next two darker shades on the card are: Waterfall (http://www.myperfectcolor.com/Match-...mpc0030291.htm), and Refresh (http://www.myperfectcolor.com/Match-...mpc0030284.htm)

Also FWIW, I found Behr paint extremely hard to work (didn't spread evenly was the main isuue) with compared to the other brands we have used including Dunn Edwards (only available in Southwest I believe), Ralph Lauren, and Sherwin Williams. I don't get how that brand always gets such rave reviews.

bumping this up for the evening crowd.

We used a color called "Honolulu Blue" by Benjamin Moore in J's room. While more on the turquoise side than I initially wanted, I do like it a lot. The sample does NOT look like what the whole on-the-wall effect winds up looking like.
