Question

fresco latte tile
Hi Cyndie, need your help again.  I have picked Daltile Fresco Latte tile for the master bathroom floor and wainscoting. Could you suggest a light Behr or Benjamin Moore paint color to compliment this tile.  All trim and plumbing fixtures will be white, the double vanity will be walnut stain color.  The masterbed room will be Harvest Brown, white trim, with walnut stained hardwood floors. Thanks a million.

Answer
Hi Elizabeth,

Thanks for the picture.  Take a look at Benjamin Moore Putnam Ivory or Shaker Beige.  While the picture is great, I'm not sure if my computer has distorted the colors.  Let me know what you think, hopefully one of these will work.

Experience

I began as a decorative painter/artist 15 years ago. My work has appeared in magazines from award winning designer show houses in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and Architectural Digest. Most recently I have spent the last 3 years creating, developing and patenting a numerical color selection system that takes the subjective nature out of color. Since it is numerically based, color can be chosen quickly and accurately. For the past year, I have conducted training seminars for the "Color with No Regrets" System to decorating professionals around the United States. My background in decorative painting/art, has given me real life experience of how color works but more importantly why it works based on sound color principles. I am also an authorized Aqua Finishing Solutions Distributor and a certified training instructor for the Society of Decorating Professionals.
