Need BM grey paint recommendation that works with green

12 years ago

We are removing half a wall from our kitchen into our dining room and I need to pick paint colors. Our dining room is currently Benjamin Moore healing aloe, which we like, but we want the kitchen to be a different but complementary, very light color. I am currently thinking BM horizon or gray owl. Our cabinets will be white. Any suggestions for a good grey considering the green in the neighboring room? Trying to paste them below

Gray Owl is nice, but is almost too close in color to Healing aloe. How about Gray Cashmere or Alaskan Husky? See samples below next to Grey Owl. Just a bit more gray to contrast the aloe green so you can see the difference in colors.

Maybe shift down a bit deeper so there isn't a conflict -
When you are so close in shade and depth of color they will jarr you . . .not quite the same but too close . . . afraid it will look like there was a mismatch
In kitchen with lots of white cabinets . . try the deeper tone from husky if you want gray http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/sleighbells
bm sleigh bells
or, the deeper tone from healing aloe
