Favorite paint colors and Newbie party!

So, how do you choose the right colors for an open floor plan?
 It seems to be the biggest decision we make when we purchase our homes.

 We have a very open floor plan and this was a huge decision for us.
If you have read my blog for sometime, you know Mike and I bought our home without ever stepping foot in it before we actually closed. 
Well, the way we chose our paint colors was really on a whim too.  We both have similar taste in paint colors.  One day while browsing restoration hardware , we both noticed  the paint color pallet throughout  the store. We started going around grabbing swatches, came back to our South Florida home and called the builder to ask for a recommendation of a painter.  So over the phone, we told the painter the colors, sent him the swatches, and what kind of paint we wanted, and which color per rooms. So again, we never knew until we stepped foot what it would look like.
  We used Restoration hardware colors, Benjamin Moore paint, eggshell finish.

 Both boys rooms are painted this color and then their Jack and Jill bath is painted the Butter cream which is in all the bathrooms in the house.

 This is the boys TV room. I took some pics with the flash on hoping to get a true color. I also did pics without the flash on which I normally do.  It is amazing how the color looks different both ways.  The swatches shown are really the truest in color.  
I often receive requests for our color pallet so I thought I would share with you a quick color tour. 
Thanks for stopping by.
