Paint Color Flow Advice Needed - Pics Included

13 years ago

We recently painted the first level of our house. We decided to go with PPG's Spiced Vinegar on the main walls, PPG's Stony Creek for the accent wall in the living room, and PPG's Cavern Moss as an accent wall in the kitchen to add a "spash of color." We like all the colors BUT the accent wall in the living room is too light during the day as it tends to blend with the Spiced Vinegar, and in the kitchen, we are not sure about how the green "flows" with the main color. Here is a picture of where the green meets the main color:

Moving to the right in the kitchen...

Moving more to the right in the kitchen, here is the accent wall in green:

Moving more around the kitchen...

Taking a few steps back, here is where the kitchen meets the living room:

Here is the accent wall in the LR w/ sample colors of what we are now considering (PPG's Ruffled Clam - Left, and PPG's Rain Barrel - Right). Although this picture shows a lot of contrast between the Spiced Vinegar and Stony Creek, in some lighting it is difficult to tell the difference between the colors.

We are not sure what to do with the green in the kitchen, we are not sure it "flows" well. Should we paint more of the kitchen green? Should we get rid of the green and replace it with the main color? Our dining room, which you can see in the background in the 2nd picture, is painted red so we are concerned about the "christmas colors" too. Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated. We are just looking for ideas to consider.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!!!
