Anyone used paint colour 'Earth Child'?

No but it's the one I'm considering for internal walls. Did you choose this colour? and how did it go? What is your general colour scheme. Mine is deep but soft grey and white.

Definately consider the interior of your room first! Timber shouldn't be a problem, probably a lighter colour due to your other wood. It doesn't have to be matchy-matchy though.
