While trying to acheive a French country look, choose a color like eggshell, or antique white. Make sure to use a good quality, oil based paint in these light colors.

French country incorporates different colors and patterns that all have a cohesive look. You could do one room in a wash of 2 or 3 colors, then take one or 2 of them into the next room and add another color, and so on. I would choose reds and golds

You will need to "antique" the walls. A really good look would be a country white color, then antique it by either sanding areas of wood down that has antique white, or fake it w/light brown paint.
