Melissa, are all of the color's you named LA?

Sage doesn't have to be dark at all & at first thought I think of sage's to be typically mid-tone but there are still many variation's of lightness or darkness.

Any chance that you have pic's to post?

What color is your trim & furniture in the DR?

With the colors you have going on, I think a green would look nice. Do you have any pictures to share that show furniture etc.? Greens often look good next to wood dining room furniture. I have BM Dry Sage in my dining room and like it alot. My room is pretty dark too, but I don't mind it for the dining room. I also have BM Olive Branch and like that as well. I have it next to Tobacco Road and like it together. Tobacco Road is a great color, so if you are comfortable with that, it's certainly a good option.

Do you have any pictures of Millet? I am thinking of that for my foyer. Long story, but I painted another color in my foyer next to the Tobacco Road and am not loving it. Would love to see the Millet as it is the main one I am considering if I repaint. FYI...I tried a sample of the Plantation Beige and it turned very green in my space. I have seen it elsewhere and it didn't, but here it did. Thanks and good luck!

I will try to post a picture later today of my foyer and of the dining room.

My furniture is a light cherry color. I will try to get pictures up.

Right now everything is a mess since I started priming it last night.

Do you have the BM Dry Sage on the whole wall? I have a chair rail and wondering if I should do it only one half.

I actually have a quart of the BM Dry Sage so I am going to try it later.

I have a chair rail too...here is a pic so you can see. Thanks in advance for posting the picture of Millet - I assume you like the color?

I think with a darkish room and dark furniture, I'd stay away from darker, cool colors like sage. If you wanted a green I'd suggest more in the pale, warm olives like BM Baby Turtle. But I've found lively colors in a DR encourage conversation and give it some spark!

With the reddish tones of cherry, think of that when choosing paints too to avoid a clash.

Here is the link to my album with the dinig room funiture, but all of my stuff for painting is on it now.

My Album

I was trying to get an upclose picture of the foyer color. I think it is looking very grainy through photo bucket. I can email you the picture if you want.

I am not stuck on green, I guess I was just looking for a color to use there vs the Plantation Biege or Tobacco Road which again I love.

I have reds throughout my downstairs, so I guess if I did one of those I could use the reds in the accents.

Thank you for the pictures - that gives me an idea. I think Millet looks like a nice warm neutral color. In terms of your dining room, I really think a nice green would look good in there with your furniture and up against the Millet and Tobacco Road. I am not familiar with Desert Tumbleweed, but I assuming it is a goldish color as well. It seems like using another color (besides the gold-toned colors) would be a good idea and would differentiate your dining room. Maybe someone else will chime in...

Can I ask you what are curtains in your dining room.

Let look similar to mine, it was the Virginia Fabric. It is red floral. It also has the greens in it.

I also vote for a green. The orangey tones in your dining set would look best with a green and like polkadots said, a sage green doesn't have to be dark.
