“Am I Blue?” And Other Questions Walls Might Ask
So, here’s one more color I thought I’d share before the Paint Color Party coming up tomorrow. I’ll spare you tons of pictures because I’ve posted about this room several times. But the color of this paint is one of the top questions I receive, so here it is: Rainwashed (also by Sherwin Williams). There is one other question that remains in regard to this color. And that is: Is it blue or is it green? And that, my friends, is the question I have no answer for. Some days I walk in & see blue & other days I see green. And some days it even looks a little gray! It definitely keeps me guessing. But maybe that’s why I love it so much.Hope you’ve been inspired by the colors I’ve shown so far. Don’t forget to come back tomorrow to link up some of your faves!

LOVE it…. I think this colour is equal parts blue and green, and a whollop of white to lighten it up. It's perfect. I have it in my office (well, I custom mixed the colour, but it's so similar). It's my favourite colour… EVER!

Thank you so much for this blog post! I was looking for the perfect greenish blue color to use in my baby girls' nursery, and after weeks of not being able to make up my mind, I see this perfect color. I will be "Rainwash"ing the walls for sure!

This color looks very similar to what is in my Dining Room. It does the same thing. Sometimes it is bluish, sometimes greenish, and sometimes grayish. It depends on the light. I don't have a name for it, because my husband mixed it from leftover paints we had. I can't believe he mixed it to be exactly the color I had in mind. Just wish I had a name for it. Maybe I will call it "Rainwashed", if you don't mind! Gail

This color is so pretty. It is only one color block away from Quietude…I have two friends that have used Quietude (one in a bedroom, another in a bathroom), and it is beautiful too. Enjoying your blog.

Stop it now. You are killing me… you have impeccable taste when it comes to paint (and decorating I might add!). I just love this color, yum!

I used this same color in our lake house master bath. I love it in there! And you are so right…it can look blue or green depending on the light! I will link to the party if you would like to see our room!

That is a gorgeous colour. My eyes say the same thing. Sometimes they are blue, sometimes they are green, sometimes they are grey. I call them aqua, but I feel pretentious saying so. But with paint, you can safely call it aqua! Which is not blue and not green ๐

I'm thinking about putting this color in my bedroom. My whole rental house is painted/being painted in happy blues and greens(and maybe a yellow bathroom) and I think this is just colorful enough while still being really calm and lovely.

Such a beautiful room and color! I have been trying to decide on a color for my living room and I couldn't believe it when I clicked to your blog that you had Rainwashed…one of the two colors(that or Quietude) I was trying to decide between. Well I love your room so much that it pretty much helped me make my decision and now my living room is being painted and I can't wait for the finished product!
