Color Advice - Need some Advice on No Natural Light

12 years ago

2 Rooms.

Laundry/Mud Room Room has no natural light. It's in a basement.10x8 Room. It's going to be a bank of custom white lacquered cabinets with either a white Corian/Caserstone or ~Absolute Blanc White~ Granite. See pic below for the slightly whitish tile laid.

On the main room, there are 4 windows with somewhat natural light but not really-again, basement level windows.

There are alot of dark tones in flooring/cabinetry/stairing.

Floor is dark brown, custom cabinets under the stairs are walnut (natural sheen oil finish) and the stairs are white oak in which I'm having finished in a tone close to the flooring but 1 shade lightr. Not too dark but not too light.

I've yet to spec the rest of the furniture....media console, sofas, etc....but this will most likely be grey.

With Paint colors, I've dumbfounded on where to start. Couple of test paint swatches. So are okay, but nothing really screams at me to say this is the one. Silken Pine looked great when I did a test sample, but with the flooring in, it looks a tad darker than where it was previously. Mud Room - I don't want to go white, and sofar, I've tested Marscapone which looks creamy on the paint samples, but it's more like a off-white in my paint test.

Laundry/Mudroom Pics

The 2nd pic is a pretty good rendition of the color of the tile in the room under the lighting. It may change a lil bit as I'm changing the current hi-hat trim to a alzak clear trim.

What paint color would you consider for this room ?
