Cozy Living Room Makeover with Sherwin-Williams 2010 Home Decor Paint Colors These Sherwin-Williams 2010 colors have influences of the Southwest, minus the green. Green has been and will continue to be a popular interior decor color. If you want your living room to be free of green, choose interior wall colors from this 2010 paint palette. Oceanside Blue The blue in the Sherwin-Williams 2010 color palette for the cozy living room is a deep, nearly midnight blue that is too dark to use on all of the room walls. Painting one wall this color will make any lighter-colored accessories or light neutral furniture pop out. The Sherwin-Williams Oceanside blue could also be used for trim, or on architectural features in the living room. Darkroom Another dark color in this Sherwin-Williams 2010 collection is called Darkroom. It's the deepest and darkest of browns, and could be mistaken for black. The color is more interesting than black, and will look different depending on which color it is placed near. This hue can be used on trim, or use the color, not the Sherwin-Williams paint in the living room decor. Choose a deep brown background color on room textiles. Neutral Walls Two interior paint colors from the Sherwin-Williams 2010 color palette that could easily be used on the walls include Nomadic Desert, a warm and sandy beige. Another appealing paint color is the darker tree bark brown, Sherwin-Williams Foothills. Foothills it the dark brown of sculpted wood and woven leather. Rockwood Amber A bold color choice for living room walls from the Sherwin-Williams 2010 interior paint palette is Rockwood Amber. It's almost jewel-toned in its richness, yet warm enough for a living room. It will be tamed slightly when paired with the Oceanside Blue and one of the neutral colors, Nomadic Desert or Foothills. Add Heat with Red Tomato Red Tomato from Sherwin-Williams will add some heat and spice to this otherwise earthy palette. The red is the lava, the red of a Poppy flower, or of a chili pepper.

Except in this 2008 color palette for home interiors, the tones have been taken down about three notches and are not as bold.
