It’s a refreshing change.  It was close, but we went with the blue , which was what most of you recommended in your comments and emails.  The yellow would have been cheerful, but it didn’t seem like enough change.  The green too was a nice fresh color, but when we tested it on the walls, it, the green carpet in the living room, and the hedges outside the windows together made too much of a good thing.  So the blue it was.  To me, it feels cool and light, and it has a violet undertone that keeps it lively.  I also like the way it works with the greens in the area.  But I’m just a bit worried that in winter cool could turn to cold . . .
