\nDear Betty,
\nWe appreciate you contacting Behr for color advice.
\nBased on the information you provided, we recommend using warm and welcoming hues.\u00a0 Warm colors are\u00a0excellent choices\u00a0for use in social rooms where you’d like an aggreeable atmosphere.
\nBelow\u00a0are some of our top selling dining room colors for your consideration:

\nFor additional dining room style and color ideas, visit the Behr inspiration galleries\u00a0on Behr.com,\u00a0and the below\u00a0Colorfully Behr archived articles:
\nhttps:\/\/www.behr.com\/consumer\/inspiration\/interior\/photo-galleries\/rooms-and-spaces\/dining-room<\/a>
\nPlease keep in mind that electronic devices and monitors have inherent limitations that can result in a discrepancy in the exact appearance of color shades. We can recommend beginning with an 8 oz. sample container of the color you choose and applying it to a small area to ensure your satisfaction with the color choice. It is always a good idea to try a small sample on the wall or hang up a paint color swatch to see how the light affects the color at different points in the day.<\/em>
\nWe thank you for taking the time to email us and wish you well on your future projects.
\nSincerely,
\nDiana Olvera
