One of the things I hate most about renting is that we are not allowed to paint the walls. To me, when I want an easy change in a room, throwing a coat or two of paint on the walls is the best way to go. I used to do this all the time when we weren't renting. My biggest problem was always deciding on a color.
For instance, there was this one time when I wanted to repaint our living room. I knew I wanted a shade of purple, but I didn't want something too pastel. I was wanting something a little gray. Junior took me to the store, and where I got a bunch of those color cards, but it was hard to imagine the color on the walls. I should have gotten some Glidden paint testers, that way I could have seen the color on the wall. The paint comes with a brush attached to the lid, so getting it on the wall is easy. But I didn't, and I ended up painting the room a few times before I got the color I wanted. It was not only a waste of time; it was a waste of money.
I just played around on www.Glidden.com, and was able to play around with the colors virtually. As you can see below, I found a purple I liked for the walls, as well as lighter shade for the trim.
