Paint color suggestions

8 years ago

My DH wants to repaint these rooms in some shade of gray. We are not replacing the furniture, but would like a new rug and possibly some new art work. The sofa is a goldish beige. I am leaning toward SW Agreeable Gray or SW Mindful Gray. The kitchen has a lot of beige, but there is a trace of gray in the granite. The rooms are somewhat dark. Any suggestions?

It is daylight and you have the lights on…so, gray is not the answer.

You need a color which will work with the natural light coming into the room(s). From what direction does it come?

Your floor has a strong pink/red undertone and you can’t ignore it, either.

Suggesting:

B.M. Ancient ivory because you need to tone down the floors and brighten the space.

Your floors are red-hued, so either the color mentioned above, or opposite on the color wheel with a gray-green such as Kelly Moore Hamlet KM569-M
