My gray dining room table looks blue!

I just had my dining room table and chairs refinished with a natural wood table top and light gray paint. The gray turned out really blue, which I'm realizing from poking through other forums here is a common complaint! In some lights it looks almost powder blue, and I'm really disappointed. I'm trying to figure out if the rug is at fault, or the lighting, or the natural wood top, or the paint itself. The color is gravity by Valspar.

This rug is my favorite in the whole house, so I hate to get rid of it, but I could if I have to. I could definitely switch out the lightbulbs though they're oddly shaped and I don't know how many choices I have in that shape. I'm also very curious about glazing the paint, which I think would give a lovely antiqued look. Would a brown glaze help tone down the blue?

What do you think? Should I just repaint?
