Decorating

Getting ready to wallpaper the living room and have hit a brick wall. The two fatal decisions ahead of us are as follows. The colour of wallpaper and paint. Narrowing it down to whit/cream, you would think gives you two options. You'd be mistaken. Take a walk into the world of dulux where everything is not quite right. Four pages of cream white and off white they are shades of the same thing but their are 24 different options for said colours. Is it possible that beige should allowed to be brought never mind in sixteen variations form magnolia to nude glow. You buy the paint after months or panic of which shade of white you want to open the paint to find it's yellow.
