I fully acknowledge that everyone thinks we're insane. We're just trying to do a good job with our place so that we don't hate it in 6 months and want to change things.

We recently got two paint samples from Benjamin Moore and the one that we liked better on the wall was Woodcliff Lake:

(No, that's not our livingroom. Settle down.)

But, we are a little worried it is too dark and/or too brown (we prefer a grayer tone). So, we are now considering the two below colors, which I realize are probably barely distinguishable from each other.

Dolphin:

and Chelsea Gray:

I'm not even asking you to vote, though I assume at least one person might have an opinion. I'm just trying to explain to you the joys of paint. You'd think I could do a better job picking colors and being sure about it since I was an art major. I guess I'm not the painting kind of art major. I should stick to line drawing and black and white photography I guess. SIGH.
