Well, I didn't use a blue color b/c the aforementioned hallway is two tones of blue-green. Another blue in the bathroom was not going to look good.
And I didn't use ivory b/c the walls had been off-white. That's old-school, now, I guess. So I went with color.
When the painters started, I thought it looked pretty good. I still think maybe I'll like it better if I put some decorative items up. Then there won't be that large expanse of a color I don't like.

I hope.
