What would be a good paint color for a modern nursery with espresso colored furniture?
Here is a pic of the bedding…and our floors are a darker hardwood, all white trim & moulding.

mint green
a chorcol color or a very light shade of blue.
Green. Darker then lime green, but lighter than forest green. ;D
The kid is only going to be a baby for a small time I would stick with natural colors like beige or taupe
Lime Green , Brown, Yellow
A soft yellow would be nice.
cappuccino
Use earthy colors…dull organic greens, beiges, browns are nice too.
Lettuce Green
Depends on the type of vibe you would like.
Espresso and blue work well. Green is also a excellent alternative contrast. But, if you would like it to remain more neutral, the background wall in the picture would also be a lovely choice!
Boy or Girl? If you don’t know, a yellow color is neutral and would go well with your existing colors, similar to the Behr colors Maize, Papaya or Caramel at Home Depot. Leaf is also a ‘restful’ color. Anything that the baby will find dull is better in a bedroom! Also, I would recommend black out shades on your windows.

I reckon I’d use the color shown in this picture, but maybe a small richer. For a girl, a pale pink or salmon would work too. For a boy, a celery green. Or Something like this?

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to help you imagine how the colors will look together. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the “painted” rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I reckon “special gray” (# 6277) might be a excellent choice.
You can take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions & for $5 they’ll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an thought of what it will look like.
