    What is the color of your flooring? Will you share a picture of the room?

    SW accessible beige is a light, clean greige that often works well with warm and cool colors.

    Is your gray furniture light weathered gray or dark charcoal?

    How are you currently testing colors if you haven't moved in yet?

    It’s a dusty charcoal. Using paint chips and pics of furniture. Thinking about a blue gray or white

    Based on your description of the floors, your color will need a little warmth to make the room look cohesive. IMO, that rules out the cool grays and whites. Have you picked a trim color?

    I wouldn't even look at chips until the floor is done and cured out at for 5 - 7 days. Because the color of the floor is going to determine how colors actually show up in the room.

    Not painting until wood floors are completely done but would like to make some decisions on paint. Dont think floors will be the problem in determining paint color.

    Sorry but what is the bedding that IMO drives the color scheme for bedrooms . Also IMO a painter uses the paint I tell them to use , it might cost more since they usually use the paint that gives them the best kick back not beacuse it is better for you. The floors of course will have an effect on your wall color it is ithe biggest item in the space next to the walls. At least post a pic of the bedding and the bed.

    It’s pottery barn jacquard medallion in gray.. we have dark floors with it now but adding the farmhouse gray furniture makes me feel too much with gray paint. That’s why looking for alternative to gray.
