Any opinions on the now versus later issue? Not too sure about colors at this point as we may replace the bedroom carpeting down the road with matching tile or vinyl planking.
Egg Shell paint is what we have in our home. Eleven years and counting. To touch up any paints you very lightly thin the paint and remember two thin coats are better than one thick one. I think you should move in and live in your home awhile before choosing colors. I have been using Sherwin Williams Paint for over 50 yrs. Len
