Help!!! I have a living room with 25-foot ceilings that have cedar on them. My floors are dark cherry wood. I have chocolate brown couch and lots of windows and light. Looking for a dark color to go on the walls.

Hi Tracey,
Thank you for your interest in BEHR paint products!
Since you have high ceilings and get a lot of light, you have the flexibility of using dark colors for your walls without making your space seem too confined.  The use of dark earth tones that complement your red floors and ceiling would be best to unify the room.  I have found five different paint colors that you may want to consider for your living room.

Colorfully yours,

    Trying to find color for my dining room I have stained wood work. Maybe a green that could be accented with blue table cloths and dishes. Love natural look that compliments the outdoors not too dark though

      Hello Dale, thank you for visiting our blog!
      A green tone for your dining room will be a nice choice.
      here are a few different options: Urban Nature S380-3, Jojoba N390-3, or Forest Path N400-4.
      Hope this helps!

      Colorfully Yours,
      Deanna
