I don’t love the Smoky Taupe but now that it is done I would be careful about what color you do in an adjoining space. Why green I guess is my 1 st question . What do you have in the space to drive the color choice. IMO wall colr is the last thing you choose and I honestly do not find the taupe even bit nicer than the cream for a neutral. BM suggests a blue for the to work with the taupe but really I need a bit more info. What is the floor in the DR?

@Patricia Colwell Consulting - I am going with a green because I also painted an accent wall in an adjoining room next to the dining room SW Tempe Start. It is a pretty blue hue. Here is a picture of the accent wall in the adjoining room, and the entryway. I would need to take better pictures when I get home. So for this dining room i wanted to pick either a lighter blue or green to tie them together. So far, most of my decor in that room is neutral. I personally hate the cream, but it also in every room so the smokey taupe was a good upgrade for me.

The dining room is that same brown carpet in the photo

Accent wall in adjoining room - tempe star

Both your colors would work good in dining room. I love Smokey Taupe. I would go with ceiling and wainscoting white.

or

This color combination below should be a great complement to the Smokey Taupe. Get some white in that dining room.

The other color as compliment to Smokey Taupe is dusty blue as Cadet SW

Thank you guys! I do want to clarify that I don't plan on doing the dining room in smokey taupe since I am already using it abundantly in adjacent rooms. I want a color that pairs nicely with it and the tempe star in the adjoining room.

@Celery. Visualization, Rendering images - That blue is beautiful!

@BeverlyFLADeziner - is that smokey taupe on the walls?

@Diana Bier Interiors, LLC - that is beautfiul but I don't know if i could pull off something like that!

I totally second Diana. Paint it all one color. If those are too bold. Paint it a color you like. I would stay in the blue family

You can also wallpaper the top half

Going with a color in the same family as Tempe Star would create a nice transition - St Bart’s or Refuge would be really complimentary.

Then the decision to paint entire room or not. Don’t keep the molding white as it can feel patchy and a bit dated. You could paint the whole lower half white. Think about how you want room to feel.

The BLUES are beautiful !

I would go with all the ceiling and mouldings and the bottom part in white and use the Tempe Star on the upper walls.

Or you go with the same color for walls and white for moldings.

Darker color

Blue cuts the appetite, so it will be perfect if your family are all dieting.

Excuse the mess This is a more up to date picture showing the dining room and the Adjoining room with the tempe star accent

Color inspo so far

Of the four do the delft, bottom left. Pretty!!

Of the four, bottom left as well. Svenska has a touch more blue if interested.

Gosh some of those colors are so depressingly dark.

Not at all They are warm and comforting ! Love them but like the deep blues best

Tray ceiling painted; just a thought.

I'd bring the Tempe Star into the dining room as well, the accent wall is too close and open visually, it might make it seem choppy if you had a different color in the ding room, or go one shade lighter/darker than Tempe Star. Just a thought.
