Feeling GRAY! Paint help needed!

Need help completely changing color scheme of our newly purchased home! Can I get away with BM Gray Owl or do I need a warmer gray like SW Agreeable Gray or Repose Gray. Our old home had the white kitchen and gray throughout. Although we cant change cabinet and granite color for awhile...still want a complimentary gray for the cabinets. They arent as orange as in pic...somewhat of a light maple with glaze. Also is a darker gray suggested for morning room? Your advice is greatly appreciated!! This girl is losing her mind with grays!!

    Ix-nay on any gray--warm or cool--with those beautiful wood floors. You are very lucky. Don't ruin what other people would kill to have in their homes.

    I’d consider other colors ....warmer shades of white or do you like any other colors? What colors are in the countertops... hard to tell from the picture.

    I prefer color through accessories rather than wall color. Although the dining room I will make a statement color. The granite is white, gray, beige, and perhaps a slight touch of maroon.

    My previous home had warm wood tones much like yours- you have a gorgeous backdrop to work with! I used Benjamin Moore Muslin. Great off-white neutral with a mild warm tone without being too beige or yellow. I also agree that gray is not going to work well.

    What a beautiful home.

    I am not a grey fan. Especially not in this wonderful home full of wood tones.

    You are going to need area rugs to tone down the floors. The cabinets don’t bother me at all…kind of a mustard with a brown glaze.

    B.M. Moonshine for the kitchen walls.

    B.M. Winter Lake…for the red room…dining(?)

    Thank you for your suggestions. I like this color palette very much! Yes area rugs are a must to tone it down. As you can see, they replaced carpeted areas with the acacia flooring but kept the old Bruce floors. I have an area rug very similar to the one you shared as well. Thank you again!
