Hi. I have a lovely two story brick faced colorado colonial. Inside there is solid Alder doors and wide floor trim in Alder (simialr to knotty pine but nicer) and the interior windows are all trimmed in Alder as well. I am preparing a color scheme with Eddie Bauer colors that are rich and deep in intensity. Do you think a pallete of four colors is too much for the house? I am picking a color called Oatmeal (sort of a gray/beige (warm) for most of the open areas. Livingroom , three walls Parika and one wall oatmeal….kitchen shares space with open livingroom so pulling Parika in and ceiling trim with oatmeal. Seperate rooms not “visual” at a glance include office, diningroom and bedroom. Color schemes are hunter green, ivory ceiling, oatmeal sopphits and “chocolate” with ivory ceiling in master suite. I am worried….any input? I have lots of wood, wrought iron and stone in the house with leather sofas…I am hoping this warms things up a bit and will be softening the room further with Dupoini silk curtain panels…..honest feedback please…..thanks.

That is definitley not too many colors for a house. In the house we just sold we had a different color in every room and we had a very rustic looking homw and I got so many compliments. Also I love the colors you have selected. Hunter green is big this year. My only suggestion is that if you do darker colors in all the ajoining rooms make atleat one wall a focal wall and make it a lighter softer color because darker colors make your space look smaller than they are. Good luck.
