I seriously intend to steal this guys color scheme, but I cant find him to ask, and I cant tell exactly how to do it. I say it a green two tone with some kind of pearl in it. Whatcha think?
You may want to look into Raaaaalph Loren at home depot. they have a lot of odd textured paints. Wife did the livingroom in a chocolate swede. Only thing I would say against that type of paint is that it does not hold up to abuse at all. The paint comes of the texture matirial easy so if you scrape it softly it's damaged.
Of course it's a decorative finish. A combination of colors or different values
of the same color.
I'll come out to your studio and create the same or similar look for $999,999.
Or, how much do you have on you?
you could get there a number of ways. Acrylic plaster, venetion plaster,
glazes...
I've taught a bunch of faux finish workshops, you could do it yourself for sure.
these days all the paint companies have a line of decorative paints with step by step instructions.
remember, it's only paint so if you don't like it, repaint with the base color
and start over. Do some LARGE samples on a VERTICAL piece of sheetrock
to simulate the actual conditions.
I really dig that color, actually. My studio has one red wall, and the rest white.
In psychology, they say that green walls have a calming effect. This is why you see prisons and schools (hmm...) with light green walls. Not to mention "green rooms" off stage in theaters.
I guess I wanted my studio to have a high energy feel rather than a mellow one.
Why not just print the picture, extra big, and have the fine folks at the borg scan it and mix the color for you. Or even better, copy the pic into MS Paint, and then you could probably use the eye dropper and paint bucket to print out a full sheet of each of the two (or more) tones used.
