John and I have been struggling to pick a paint color for our living room. It got really difficult when we bought an armoire off craigslist. It's green. Straight-up green. Not that there's 
anything wrong with green. I love green. But our sofa is tan, and our carpet is tan, and I don't know what to do with the walls now. Following the triad rule, we should paint some greenish/orangeish/purplish color, or some combination thereof (that includes tan, which is really a neutralized orange). I'm not super excited about any of those. Especially orange. AND our bedroom is already green--should have mentioned that before. So instead of picking a living room color, we mixed the leftover green from our bedroom with the leftover blue from our bathroom and painted the half wall near the front door. It came out a nice turquoise, as long as you're looking at it between the hours of 3 and 6 pm. Any other time it strays to Tiffany blue. Still better than the off-white it was before, eh? Eh?
