We passed 35 years in April, and my husband picked the kitchen paint, before this latest round (had to repaint due to new flooring which didn't go as well with old color). That said, I'm better at determining whether something is "warm" or "cool" and how it will appear with the particular lighting of a room. He usually doesn't care, and beige everywhere would be fine with him.Maybe the secret to our success is the fact that anyone is allowed to have a say in paint colors .
