Chips Ahoy!

No, this post is not about delicious chocolate chip cookies (do they still make Chips Ahoy?); It is about more paint chips! I swear, after this I am buying some darn primer and test pots so that I can finally make a decision on colour.

I ended up being near a Benjamin Moore yesterday, so I popped in to pick up some coral and teal paint chips. I swear I took enough to wallpaper the entire bathroom. I felt like yelling out "I really am buying paint! Not just stealing chips!". Anywho, I probably had about 10 of each. Much better selection of coral and teal than Canadian Tire carried.

Anyway, I am really glad I got so many because I have definitely learned my bathroom light is a tricksy little minx that makes teal turn evil forest green and coral turn into peaches gone wild. I did my best to colour balance these to the truth...but I think I failed.

Here are the losers:

And the winners:

And you know what? I think I still like Lake Simcoe and Cabana Coral the best (though I may chicken out and get a less dark teal). I think the next thing to do is to just go ahead and buy some darn paint and throw it up in a bunch of places and see what looks good.

I rounded up some inspiration photos for you- are you Team Teal or in the Coral Corral?
