Selections: Paint

As the entire interior of the house needs to be repainted at once and very few fabrics or specific room color schemes have been finalized at this point, almost every room will be painted in the same color scheme:  neutral.  The beauty of a neutral color scheme is that anything can go with it.  The downsides are that there is no such thing as a true "neutral" scheme -- every shade of off white casts a different hue -- and that it needs to be paired with interesting furniture and fabrics to make it seem personal and inviting.

In Jane's case, the fabrics from her old house that she's carrying over to this house, and the selections to date (notably the tumbled travertine in the sun room), call for a brown/tan/cream hued neutral, rather than a gray or yellow hued neutral.  She wants to highlight the molding throughout the house with a contrasting--but not too contrasting--complimentary color. 

After many rounds of color choices, her selection has been made.  The walls will be painted in Benjamin Moore's Palace White (in a flat finish) and the molding will be painted in Mayonnaise (in a semi-gloss finish).  The ceiling will also be painted Mayonnaise (in a flat finish).  Below are screenshots from Benjamin Moore's website of the two colors, which look different in person than they do on your computer screen.
