I would go stoney then

But, for a steer..look at the red closest to your own, see what f and b would recommend ...at the very bottom of the page. Its a fun tool for safe but dylish colour schemes.

Mr man literature has its advocates.

I do not think i ever read a mr man book.

Some of them are reasonably good stories for preschoolers. I always feel a niggling concern, though, at the inherent sexism in the names of the characters: for example, the cheerful male character is called Mr Happy, and the cheerful female character is called Little Miss Sunshine, which feels like a glaring asymmetry to me.

(Must do some more marking. )

I've only been in a cellar once... well, kind of. I was at one of those great parties that you find yourself at sometimes.... well, maybe once in a lifetime max... where somebody invites you to a party they're also not invited to - and you turn up and it turns out to be a mansion, that owns the village and hundreds of acres .... and you go in and all the rooms are themed (but shabby) and they have two kitchens and one of the kitchens is where the sheep lives/eats, and next to the sheep's kitchen (we're really exploring this by now with its 30 bedrooms each with a bathroom 15' square) ... is a cellar... and there was an ancient door at the end... and .... at this point you scare yourself silly and leave. There followed an incident with a jeroboam hidden under a bush, which I didn't find out about until the taxi I was in stopped along the drive .... and I then had to repatriate said jeroboam 2 days later when the person who invited us woke up sober and realised what they'd done..... and that's what happens when your circle crosses with two privately educated girls who SHOULD have known better! The thieving scallies.... at least they knew me, who had the b4lls to repatriate it.

I just took my own advice and clicked on rectory red. The gallary match with a yellow cream is horrendous, . Horrendous. Yuck, yuck yuck? There other suggestions are similarly tasteless. Do not listen to them.

Or me.

The only pairing i like of there suggestiong is dimity without that yellow cream matchstick. Yellow and red literally makes me wretch. It never fails to remind me of ketchup in scrambled eggs which i have never tasted but just is wrong.

Some of my tulips this year came up yellow and red next to each other and i picked them all and got rid of them.

It's quite hard to judge with just seeing that part of your room but I think it could be a shade somewhere between white and slightest pinkish tinge.

Just an idea into the pot of considerations.

Our horrid landlord in italy had a cellar....almost every where does there, and it had a cage in it, with a living room laid out in the cage, as if he kept some one it in regularly. It was quite upsetting really.
