For anyone out there who's ever tested a paint color (or 12) on a wall, here's a permission slip: Don't feel guilty! There's no shame in painting a bunch of little rectangles and adding more and more until you find that just-right shade—and you will, I promise. Don't let anyone tell you you're color-skittish. Or that you have color commitment issues. You're just rightfully holding out for "the one." And you know what? When you find it, I guarantee that you two will have a long and happy relationship. You will count on that color for years—maybe even for life. True story: I once had a very large master bathroom with slate floors. (I don't miss it; it was a huge pain to clean, to be honest.) I was at…

Dear HGTV Magazine, What an awesome magazine you have! I've enjoyed my new subscription, especially all the happy, colorful ideas in the April issue. —Judy Higgins, Sun City, AZ I have to disagree with one of the Property Brothers. Drew said canopy beds can look "gaudy and too traditional" (April's "Brother Vs. Brother"). I love my canopy! It completely changed the look of my bedroom, and the space doesn't feel cramped at all. I bought mine at Bed Bath & Beyond, and it was the best money I ever spent. —Sheri Kinnison, Victoria, TX I loved Sara's Editor's Page about putting together a prop closet [April's "Everybody Should Have a Prop Closet (Not Just Magazine Editors)"]. I'm not one to keep things the same, so I really appreciate the idea…

Asparagus BY OLYMPIC "This den's wood paneling was dated—and really gloomy. I needed a pizzazz color to energize the room, and this fresh summer green delivers. Pairing it with whites and other greens takes it in a garden direction. With navy it could go preppy. And on patio furniture? Fantastic!" —Catherine Cleare, Cleare Interiors, Greenwich, CT Fresh scent green BY BENJAMIN MOORE "These wicker chairs hint at the view outside: a garden in Hawaii filled with banana trees and tropical plants. This is on a breezy screened porch, and the lush green captures that indoor-outdoor feel. It's a powerful color—you don't have to use too much to get the effect." —Marie Christine Peterson, Chelsea Court Designs, Los Gatos, CA Lime sherbet BY PANTONE "Dining rooms often have so many wood…
