Paint Home Decorating Design Dilemma

Mixing Warm Gray and Cool Gray in Adjoining Rooms

3 years ago

We have painted the majority of our house in Sherwin's Big Chill - at 75% of the tint - and love it. It is a cool gray. This includes our entryway and our kitchen, which both adjoin our dining room.

While I love Big Chill, I'm a bit bored with the cool tone and wanted to go warmer in the dining room to make it look more elegant and feminine. I'm strongly considering Sherwin's Grayish.

Would the cool neutral gray of the adjoining rooms clash with the warm neutral gray of the dining room?
