Today's "Inspiration Friday" is all about the color coral. I have it in my head that I want to paint our main bathroom this vibrant color for a change from my typical blue or green paint colors. I thought I had the color picked out but after doing some research online last night, I'm afraid it might not be that easy!
There are so many different shades of coral from red, to orange, to pink that although I think they are all beautiful, I was looking more of a coral-pink, so that it wasn't too shocking. Below you can see all the different tones of the color.

Here are my initial picks:
Martha Stewart Larkspur
Martha Stewart Peony
(I couldn't find a paint chip online, but you can see from this side table and the island below, it is more of an orange toned coral)
Martha Stewart Peony
Glidden Red Grapefruit
I was totally set on the Red Grapefruit by Glidden until I saw this last night....

...ummm, yeah I'm not trying to go nursery pink.
This is the way the paint chips look on the wall in the bathroom. This bathroom is in the hallway and has no natural light. Currently it is painted Quiet Moments by Benjamin Moore, but I'm thinking it's needs to be something a little more punchy.
From left to right Larkspur, Red Grapefruit, Peony.

I found this one on the Real Simple website and I think it is worth checking out.
So here are inspiration pictures for the color coral.
It is such a happy color any way you do it!!!
