First floor paint color help

2 hours ago

We are renovating our kitchen and have BM Hale Navy cabinets and a Walnut island with a chestnut stain. The floors will be 5" with 50% Early American/50% Neutral. The kitchen opens up to a large room that is kind of a everyday dining/entertaining/hanging out room. To me it makes sense to have those two rooms the same color. I'm leaning towards BM Pashmina. These two rooms get a lot of light. There is an adjacent room which is part of the original house (1800) with exposed beams and a large stone fireplace with a black cast iron stove insert. This room opens to the "everyday dining" room but is much dimmer and pretty small. There are only 3 North-facing windows, so there is much less light than the other room.

My question is (and thank you for reading through all of that but we have a very confusing house), should I use a different color for the "fireplace room". My initial thought was to go with a darker version of Pashmina but I think it might be too gray since the stone fireplace has warmer tones. Looking for thoughts as to whether I should go warmer, lighter, darker. I'm not afraid of color but you can see the Hale Navy cabinets from this room so I don't think I would do a blue or green.

Another thought would be to ditch the Pashmina and select a color that would go with the fireplace and Hale Navy and use it throughout.

*Please forgive the mess- we are mid-construction.
