Oh, I love them all. But if I have to choose.. I pick Joshua's Vintage Primary Room for the texture on the wall, the empty and very cool picture frame, and the gorgeous light coming in from the window.

I don't know why, but all of the pictures for this competition are somehow unsavory... maybe it's just their grainy quality.

I like Joshua's, Kelly's and Christopher's rooms, very cozy. Jacquie's kitchen is great, but I'd move that saw and put some other colorful items in it's place. I love colorful, bright and cheery kitchens!

I love them all! Each one was uniquely inspired and the accessories really upped the effect. If I had to choose one (OK, maybe two!) I think it would be "Joshua's Vintage primary" and then "Jacqui's New Orleans kitchen". Jacqui's kitchen was amazingly eclectic in use of color and in accessorizing.

I love Joshua's vintage:) that's about it

Kinda like some aspects of the plaid floor kitchen but the bright yellow kills my eyes. And would have reversed the red & white on the cabinets. So I couldn't vote for any of them. Goodness.

Wan-Ching's Happy yellow kitchen -- I LOVE yellow kitchens. Can't wait to paint mine the color of an egg yolk!!

I also loved Christopher's "Chocolate, cream and orange" room.

I'm kind of disappointed by the entries this year. They seem a little less...polished? Interesting? None of them really excite me.

I'm not crazy about these either slowdown, but if I had to choose, I'd pick the one in Brooklyn!

Not too impressed. And AT reader seem to "Love Love Love" just about anything.

Joshua's "Vintage Primary!" There's just something about that color. Gorgeous.

@slowdown I agree. I wish the entries were better curated; it kind of feels like AT shows us every single one that is sent in. I looked at a few when the contest started but then decided I would just wait until some of the average ones are weeded out.

Le_Mond... At readers "love love love" just about anything because it's not always the same person responding. When you have different people responding and the plethora of room types AT has, you're bound to get "i love love love this" on all the posts. We're not Borg.

That said, I love love love the darker rooms. They really appeal to my sense of home. Color me happy and Vintage Primary are my two favorites. Love love love the wall color!

Obviously this isn't the case for every room in the Room for Color Contest, but I've noticed that a lot of bathrooms and bedrooms are making appearances, leading me to believe that people might be more inclined to experiment with colour in the more 'private' rooms of the house. Those rooms may not wind up being as curated as the common spaces are, just by virtue of the fact that they are private rooms not typically on display.

I submitted a tiny bathroom, and I feel it's about as "curated" as it can be without being overdone. Similarly, some of the bedrooms I've seen have been very sparsely decorated, almost as though the colour itself fills the role of "accent pieces."

As someone else touched on, the challenge with this contest is that AT readers are used to critiquinig entire spaces, furniture selection, accessory selection and placement, etc., where this contest just focuses on use of colour. As a reader, it's hard to switch gears like that...

Moving on. My observation has been that there is a lot of grey turning up in the contest. Is grey a colour? *smile*

Joshua's "Vintage Primary" Room. Simple and stylish.

I agree with slowdown and tequila red

I sort of agree with slowdown - there doesn't seem to be as many exciting entries as in times past. But what I'm really finding distracting this year is the quality of the photography. So many of the photos are very grainy! I find myself consciously working to look past the quality of the photo to see the quality of the room...

Oh, and my favourite rooms at present are the 'Lime and Teal' living room from Ireland and Joi's 'Color Me Happy.'

SORRY. None of them appeal to my sense of style. I too love color, but these examples seem very amateurish.

I do love Kelly's room -- as a fit for me. And I also think Joshua's room is very nice -- although I bit too somber for me.

The "Moody Luxe" room is simply gorgeous. Luxe indeed! The New Orleans kitchen is cheery and sweet, but personally, I might get bored with the colour scheme after a while, much as I love colour.

AT is usually so dead on with their science of color offerings that it surprises me to see 2 hideous kitchens painted that terrible yellow. I love the other uses of color in Jacquie's "New Orleans" kitchen.. or maybe it's just the beautiful baby that saves the day, but I find the saw a little jarring as well. The other rooms are just beautiful... I'm going through a phase of loving the dark, rich colors on the walls. The Moody Luxe bedroom is so feminine.. just gorgeous; and Christopher's Chocolate, Cream and Orange takes the use of texture to a fabulous, fuzzy level!

I like the bedroom with the dark blue wall--a wonderful atmospheric, soulful gloom. it's beautiful, but I don't know if I'd actually like to sleep in it... It has to look almost black in nighttime lighting--large parts of it already look almost black in daylight.

Also, I like the spirit of the yellow kitchen/dining room... however the yellow is too neon and primary for me--I'd temper it with a hint of orange

The whimsical primary-pastel kitchen couldn't be less appealing to me. This kind of stuff just does not work for me.

The mish-mash collection of the saw and the fish and the star just comes across as meaningless "stuff" without significance but just as space-filler. The colors don't relate to each other. And the all-pastels? No. Sorry.

Judging purely on palette is pointless since people might as well submit color chips. I think we can judge whether the use of color enhances the room as a whole or not. Randomly painting an accent wall in a favorite color or scattering colorful accessories around doesn't cut it for me.

I Like them all except Joshua's "Vintage Primary" Room it looks too depressing and cold.sorry..

If forced to pick a "favorite" I would go with either Jeremy's vintage or Wan-Ching's Happy Morning - but even those don't inspire me (particularly the bright yellow with that flooring in the kitchen). Rather underwhelmed by the nominees.
