if you go to Behr.com you can pick the room you want to do, living room, kitchen, etc. Choose the picture that comes the closet to the room you are doing. Then select the paint colors you like. Its a great way to explore what colors work well together, get new ideas, a good website.





I use if often!





Also, sherwinwilliams.com and benjaminmoore.com are great too. Another idea is to go to your local home supply store @ Menard's, Lowe's, Home Depot. They have free brochures with color ideas for every room in your home, also color ideas for outside too.
Personally, I would live there a little while to see how the sunlight reacts in different times of the day. After that, get the feeling that you want in each room )bedroom soothing, office energetic) . From there go shopping and get an inspiration color. Bedrooms are good in blues and greens, it all depends on the mood you want to create. Don't shy away from dark colors, they look great and can be really effective in making a room feel cozy.

PD - Olympic paint and other brands now offer ';low VOC'; which is zero toxin and fumes - it is great!
