Need help choosing paint colors?

12 years ago

My entire first floor is being repainted along with a kitchen remodel. I am painting the kitchen BM Pensive. What colors work well with that color? I am not sure if I have to stay in that color family to paint my living room/hallway/upstairs. Do I go lighter/darker? My cabinets are a dark cherry, chateau brown granite and caramel oak flooring.
Please help
