Design Dilemma - Tuscan Kitchen

Belle Grove Light Amber 3006-8B	Fragrant Coriander 3002-6A

Q: I am confused about the color I picked out for my kitchen. I picked Fragrant Coriander by Valspar, but it looks very different on the walls than the swatch. I like it, but I feel like it's too orange-ish. We are doing a texture, so I bought the lime wash and gold glaze so I know it will look differenT after and I'm hoping it will tone down the orange and I'll like it. I am going after the earth tones and tuscan look. Should I get the same paint with a hint of red? Will the texture give this color a tuscan feel to the kitchen?

A: You're off to a good start. Adding the texture will reduce the "orange" feel that you were talking about. Try the color wash on a small area like the space next to the door to see the end result.  Adding texture will definitely put you in a Tuscan mode. You may want to have a small quart of a warm yellow-off-white like Belle Grove Light Amber on hand to add here and there to add subtle highlights. Good luck and let us know how it goes. Happy Painting!
