Thinking about Paint

We're not at the point where we're painting - yet, but it's never too early to start thinking.  Yesterday while we were carousing Lowe's for the final (we thought) vent supplies, we took a few minutes to look at the paint samples and think about the colors we want in the house.  First of all, we are both against white walls and we both love naturals, but we felt light browns and tans will just make the room looked aged and yellow.  We're thinking outside of 'our' box and going bold.... Just not sure how bold yet, lol.

The idea is that the living room with cathedral ceiling will be in the olive or brown family, or possibly the wine family.  All of the trim in the house is planned to be stained a medium to dark stain and the floors will be natural hickory, so they will range from light to dark as well.  The ceiling panels will also be natural (light colored) so there will be a lot of variation in the room.  I think one of these colors will help bring it all together.  The blues and greys are for possibly the master bedroom and the kids bathroom upstairs (underwater mural).  The sad thing is that actual sample cards we picked up and the computer image are no where near the same colors.... I guess it will be a wait and see how it turns out ordeal.
