I think it depends on how the layout of your house flows from room to room. If you have wood casings around your doorways so that each room has a start and end point for paint colors - then doing colors that are similar in tone but not exactly in the same color family works fine in my opinion. If you have an open floor plan where one wall is shared between two room then I think a common wall color is required. I think the green in your photo would be beautiful with creamy cabinets. The yellow in the photo you posted looks really yellow to me, and I guess I would picture more a light gold to go with that green ie. BM Pittsfield Buff or SW Believable Buff. I'd go with the green and the nice part is if you both don't like the green with the cabinets or with the color chosen for the foyer/LR, paint is easily fixed. I would focus on picking the perfect color for your cabinets and trim - that is a much bigger job to correct if the color is off!

That's a tough call - I think both those colors will go very nicely with creamy cabinets. I'm doing cream cabinets with a green close to the color you are showing & my dining room is very similar to that yellow. BUT , my kitchen & dining room are each their own distinct rooms. I think if it was all open, I would have continued the yellow into the kitchen. So I guess my vote would depend on your layout.

Thanks everyone!! We're working on this today. We will leave the wall painted between the dishwasher and pantry. My original thought was that the tile might help balance things, but that was on paper. Perfect... much less work for my husband!! yay! We're going to bring the tile up to the stove and level all the way across.. we will be adding a black pencil line. I was on the fence and I haven't seen it, but we mocked it up and I think it will be nice. It also makes it so we have nice even rows - no cutting tiles to make narrow rows needed by adding the pencil line. That sealed the deal. I wont be doing anything fancy behind the stove. It may be years before I get the stove I want so we'll just be keeping it all the same. AGain thanks!! I hope to post pics soon!!
