Oh, no, sweetie. You’re supposed to pick just one color from the paint strip, not the whole set. But if you’re going to do this, why not go all out and include the labels:

Not to be a jerk or anything, cuz this is hilarious, but why is the charred sienna paler than the raw?
My painstaking research — that is, two seconds on Wikipedia — told me that the raw is darker than the burnt. This could be wrong.
What is “sienna” anyway? I never enquired.
Sienna is a type of clay found in Sicily, in the Appalachian mountains. Forest fires create white ash that mixes in with the clay, so it actually gets names like raw sienna and burnt sienna.
When did they move the Appalachian Mountains to Sicily? I have to start paying more attention to current events.
Looks like a bit of colour experimentation has gone on in other rooms too.
I think the top color is actually Cheap Bandaid.
We visited Disney World this past fall and stayed in an on-property motel called Pop Century. The buildings were four stories tall and each story was painted a different hue of the same basic color. Our rooms were on the top floor of a green building, and it was sort of fun in the mornings to walk down to the food court or the busses and see the pale green on our floor change with each flight of stairs we walked down, to a reasonably deep green on the ground floor.
This idea is whimsical and cute as the exterior paint on a Disney motel. It doesn’t translate really well to your family room.
Each of the posts has a different design! But all with the same colors, of course. Anything else would just be silly.
(The walls really DO look like those paint color strips — hee!)
I actually don’t think it’s bad for a basement family room. On another note, I think the realtor should have scheduled his photography a little better. Either do it while the house is still furnished, or wait until it’s completely empty. The pics make it look like squatters have taken up residence.
agreed! either squatters or an eviction — either way, shovel the joint out BEFORE taking the photos!
I don’t know that I’d do it in my house, but it IS a wee bit clever.
I once met a Swedish woman with that color scheme. Her hair was pure blonde, while her jacket was a tint darker, her long jumper another tint darker, and her trousers were a dark suede color.
It sure beats the ugly green in the living room. Also, why no grass in the back yard? Who paves the entire back yard?
The resolution’s so poor I can’t be sure, but it seems there’s a little chair on chair action going on on the patio. Perhaps it needs a modesty human?
Medium-rare Sienna is my new favorite color. It’s way better than well-done Umber!
and is that a christmas tree for bats hanging from the ceiling?
I’d say it goes

Personally, I think the interior decorator was on loan from a dot.com startup in the bay area. This looks like the interior office space of any “We just need some more VC to make it big” San Jose startup.
Maybe the guy was an Intel or Microsoft workaholic and just couldn’t stand to be away from that soothing Corporate color scheme at the office.
I saw this done on one of those home remodel shows — I can’t recall which one — and thought it was quite clever. I think it looks sort of nice!
Me too. There was a family that were down on their luck financially and living in a relatives basement. This seems like that basement. It was way before those same people jumped over to ABC and started giving lower-middle class people mansions with property tax bills larger than their annual salaries anyway.
I think someone took those paint suggestion strips at home depot a little too literal….
Looks to me like the base makeup room of the local Mary Kay makeup warehouse. Wait until you see the eyeshadow room…
