We found that all of the colors we did looked slightly greener on the walls than we had expected due to the fact that our floor tiles are really really slightly peach.
BTW, we have a bedroom painted a mustardy color I love, called Amber Waves by Benjamin Moore.

The book that I linked to earlier is cut up into three sections, so you can change the floor color, the wall color and the ceiling color to see how the room changes.
Eventaully the floor in the room I'm repainting will have to be refinished, but that's a project for a long time from now.
BTW, does anyone have any recommendations for what sort of person to hire to take off molding? I have a pocket door that's fallen off of its track, and investigation has determined that I'll need to remove the molding around the door in order to get the pocket door out. Fixing the pocket door doesn't look like it will be too much trouble, but getting it out and back on again is the stickling point. I'm guessing, though I haven't talked to him, that a painter is used to dealing with molding, but I may be way off base. Should I hunt down a carpenter, even though it's a fairly small job?
