The windows are small and the room gets very little light..The adjoining rooms are painted inSW EnjoyableYellow which is a very nice soft yellow. I don't think I will like that with the blue coach. I know the two oolors often work well together but I'm just not feeling it.

Benjamin Moore Oklahoma Wheat Sherwin Williams Sawdust BM Dry Sage I have east-west facing great room/DR combination and I have used BM OK Wheat which is the best color I have used there. I have SW Sawdust in an east/west bedroom/bathroom which works well. I have used BM Dry Sage in East-West facing kitchen with oak cabinets which was the best color I used there. I have purchase iceberg most recently for my GR/DR combination but have not painted yet. I will paint it and evaluate it. I do like fall/spring colors. I like the colors of a lion's coat or leaves with a yellow color. I do not like the emerald colors or blue royals for oak companions. It is too hard. I think the grays are too blah. I like the colors of nature but then I can mix accessory colors to create a pallet of beautiful colors. The wall color is not everything but oak and west/east north/south directions can dictate what the main color must be. I also do not think taupe plays well with oak. For me, it was like a mistake trying to be corrected. I think some ocean aquas could be good, but I have not yet done that. Olives and avocados do well with oaks. They are a natural. imento accents make for a beautiful vignette. Nothing prettier than a spattering of the right color of red with the greens of fall or evergreen in winter. Because of the situation of my house, most of my rooms open east/west on one side while on the other side, they are north or south or north/south.

You can go with ivory/off white or the same color just a lighter version.

First of all, do you want to keep the wood tone on the walls OR go with a light color such as light blue or even white? Nothing brightens up a room and brings in the outdoors as these two colors do. If you go with white paint on the walls, I would suggest you paint the ceiling a neutral light blue to bring in the color of the lake and the sky. Then, you might add a bedspread in a royal blue and white window pane plaid with large white squares inside the royal blue grids and complete the look with sheets and pillow cases in the light blue of the ceiling and royal blue or navy blankets. Red or yellow in small accessories would make a refreshing accent for the room. A textured area rug in dark brown or dark gray might make a nice backdrop for the blue and white linens.
