But I am always here! Well, unless the thread is dead. :mcsweat:




I am just trying to pick a wall color for our apartment and after looking at different shades of gray for over an hour, I think I am going nuts. Each color tone/brand seems to look completely different on every photo I find and it seems to be impossible to find out what the color actually looks like.

Does that mean you found a new apartment? :)

You should be able to borrow a Farbfächer (sorry, no idea what that's called in English, everyone) from at least some brands at the stores that sell the paint. I think that's the most reliable way to see the colour, even if the patches are a bit small and it's hard to tell how the colour looks on a larger surface.

Based on images, that looks like what we call swatches. If there is another proper name for english, I'm not aware of it, but granted I don't look for these that much haha

Yes, we found an apartment. It's not perfect, because it's located in the middle of nowhere, in the Odenwald and public transportation is not too great. We didn't search for apartments in this area at the beginning at all, because it is not ideal, but since we could not find an apartment for so long and after our rent was raised a second time, we got pretty desperate. So we applied for an apartment there and since the area isn't very popular we got it. We will be moving next month and I am going crazy with preparations. I could not sleep and woke up at 5 am, starting to search for wall paint. :mcheh:

Yes, I already looked at some swatches, but they are really small and it is so difficult to tell what they will look like if you paint a whole wall and under different light conditions, since you always just have lamp light in a hardware store. That's why I would prefer to see images of whole walls on the internet, but it's not making things easier since they look so different on every photo. All I want is a light gray shade that hass absolutely no beige in it. But the same paint will look cool gray in one picture and suddenly taupe in another.

And I cannot even decide whether I want to paint a whole wall or make some kind of pattern - I've seen some great images where people painted mountain shapes on their walls and I think it looks grat, but it seems to be mostly used for children rooms, so I am not sure it will look silly in my bedroom? You know, like this?

@featherquill: Welcome back! :mcglee: *confetti rain*

@Firn: Congrats on the apartment! *even bigger confetti rain* Might not be perfect, but still, that's something :mccute:
And I don't see why a pattern would only be appropriate for children's bedroom. I'd say go for it if you'd like to :mchappy:

Yay for finding an apartment! Even if it is not perfect, at least the stress of searching will end. And in the Odenwald it surely will be very pretty all around, even if you'd rather have it less remote, hopefully you can enjoy the landscape around :)

I think the mountain wall looks great, I don't think that's only for children. In the end it only has to look good to you and starkad, so it doesn't matter if other people think it is for children.

Sometimes you can at least take the swatches home to see in different light, but yeah, it's still hard to tell how it will look on a whole wall...

Firn: I didn't send it yet. I actually had two I was going to submit, so I'm going to wait until both are done first 8u

I'd like to see you paint some kinds of shapes 8u
I think that'd turn out nice.

My dad and I once painted a unicorn on my wall when I was a kid.
It was really cool and my friends liked it u8
I actually drew on my walls and doors.
I hear kids get in trouble for that, but my parents let me do it.
My dad told me recently "It's hard to yell at your kid when they write 'I love Mommy and Daddy' on the wall 8,u"

Ah, okay, I was worried the mail got lost somehow.


I think your family owns a house, right? Then drawing on doors is just your "own problem". If you only rent an apartment, that is a whole different story, because you will have to pay for the doors and doors are expensive as hell. :mcsweat:

I figured it was easier than sending two 8U

Oh, that's right...
My dad told me that when he had an apartment.
He hated the yellow walls and I told him to paint and he said he'd have to repaint it himself before he left.

Renters should not be held responsible for your poor taste in wall painting >8u/
