Hello. What paint colors are popular for a living room and open space in the main area?

This is for our primary residence and we have a large pool in the backyard in So Cal.

For a large open space, you’re better off using a neutral color and bringing color to the room with rugs, artwork, upholstered furniture, and other decor. Some suggestions: Benjamin Moore’s Gentle Cream or Elephant Tusk, or Sherwin Williams’ Greek Villa. All are warm-toned white/ivory shades that make a great backdrop for any other colors you want to bring in. Both companies make peel & stick paint samples that you can order online. That makes it easy to move them around in the room so you can see how they look on different walls /at different times of the day/with different light. Important note - when using light-colored paint, always use the eggshell finish (not matte or flat), so you get the right amount of light absorption.

Depends on the house. Buy small paints of like 3 - 6 colors u like and paint splashes on the wall. See what you like after a couple days.

Thx. I want bright but wife wants closest to what would be a white.

I’m planning on getting my real estate license this spring! My biggest hesitation is that I currently live downtown Chicago and do not own a car. I really do not want to buy or lease a car as the area I live in requires a garage spot to park. Is it realistic to believe that I can be a real estate agent in Chicago if I rely on Uber/CTA?!
