Here are six successful paint color picks from house tours.

In Anne & Tahoe’s Barnum Bungalow, BEHR Scotch Lassie is a bold but soothing hue, while BEHR Herbal Mist softly showers a bathroom in calm.
Seema’s Global Eclectic Rowhouse living room features a cheery greenish accent color sure to uplift the spirits: Benjamin Moore’s Pale Avocado.
Mark’s Delightful (and Delicious!) West Village bedroom has a green (Behr Premium Plus in Thyme Green) that packs a punch of excitement, but still manages to refresh and renew.
A green that seems warm and cozy in just about any light, Benjamin Moore’s Oregano brightens up and relaxes a kid’s room in Annah & Benny’s Sophisticated Family Home.
