What are some popular colors for apartment homes? We are looking to add some colors to our accent wall program.

Any hints and ideas are greatly appreciated.

My brother-in-law works for Sherwin Williams and has been very helpful selecting colors. I painted several areas of my office wall with the colors we used so residents could see the actual color on the wall to help them make a decision on color.

You can also go on Pinterest and type in a search for Sherwin Williams and see colors pinners have used on their walls.
Green--my favorite is Clary Sage. We put in on a wall in the clubhouse and got a lot of compliments on it. I went through about 6 different green samples and decided on this one.
Yellow--I like Old Colonial Yellow. It is a bright, rich yellow.
Blue--Blistful Blue is my favorite in this color. I have it in my bedroom.
Coral, pink or peach color: Coral Island. I've used this one.
I also like:
Urban Putty
Macadamia (I used this on all the walls at my last property)
see this article or call Sherwin Williams in the afternoon when they are not very busy. Lowes also carries Sherwin Williams colors now.

Also popular are shades of grey (no pun intended.) Using shades of grey often work as excellent neutrals. I suggest charcoal for an accent color, especially with white trim. If the room is facing east though, use a shade lighter as this room often takes on a blue tone. Warming these rooms up with plants looks very professional.
