My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Funcolors? Green to go with gray?

13 years ago

Funcolors or other color gurus--I need help!

I'm painting a sunroom/diningroom BM Chelsea gray with White Dove trim. For flow, I want to bring the gray into the adjoining kitchen on the cabinets (under counter only). The kitchen has black counters and a terra cotta tile wall behind a corner stovetop with a line of accent tiles that are off white with a dark blue mexican design. There is also a chimney w/bricks similar color to the tile, and oak floors. Dark gray grout on brick and tile.

This room gets little sunlight. I can't find a color for the upper walls that works--I thought light gray but can't find one that clicks. The BM consultant said there are green hues in Chelsea Gray but I can't see it--should I go with a sagey green? lighter gray? off white?

The living room off the kitchen is Olive Branch with Atrium white trim.

I'd SO appreciate suggestions--I'm going nuts!
