What color are these walls?
I found a house i really like, and i want to paint my house the same color. I am putting on the primer paint right now so i;ll be ready to paint the real colors soon but i dont know how i would go about finding what colors these are.
Does anyone know how i would go about finding what colors the walls are?
I am looking at the walls of the living room, kitchen and dining room
Heres is the pictures of the house
Thanks!

Welcome to the forums!
Where did you get the pics? Is this a model home? Can you ask the builder? or the homeowner? Do you know what brand of paint was used?
It would be very difficult to match colors based soley on pics.

I saw this house in person about a month ago. And i forgot to take pictures, so i went on the site and found the house again, and this is the pictures they had.
The house was sold a couple weeks ago and its not on the site anymore.

If it was a new house - contact the builder. He may not know the color but would know the painter and what brand of paint he used. If it's a resold home, it might be difficult to get the colors. I'd suggest contacting the realtor to see what you can find out.
If nothing else works, take your pics to your local paint store [not dept] and maybe they can come up with something close. In all reality, it doesn't have to be a perfect match as long as it looks good with your furnishings and pleases you and yours.

Hi mdude
In real life, colors are defined by a combination of Red, Green, and Blue (RGB), so we can describe a color by the quantity of these colors, starting by 0 and finishing with 255
The black color is RGB 0,0,0 and the white is RGB 255,255,255
This is a convention, so you can go to any paint store and buy the color based on this convention
We have some technical tools to identify colors. Paint professionals use a small color reader developed by Pantone, it reads the colors, based on a vist to the site.
We have also computer programs based on this sistem, so we can read the colors of a picture or image. The only problem in this case, is the distortion of the picture and the web based colors
Anyway, I used this tool in your pictures and these are the results
Picture 1--> RGB 210-197-189 --> # D2C5BB
Picture 2--> RGB 206-189-171 --> # CEBDAB
Picture 3 and 4--> RGB 171-144-123 --> # A3907B
Picture 5 (clear)--> RGB 201-157-110 --> # D99D6E
Picture 5 (dark)--> RGB 117-057-056 --> # 753938
Picture 6--> RGB 141-110-082--> # 8D6E52
These colors and conventions don't depend of the brand of the paint
Let me know if you have additional questions
