I'm thinking a light adobe or other neutral would be better than mauve or yellow for a re-sale. When buyers see mauve, they see "pink" or "purple", & yellows, even my favorite buttercream, just won't go with everyone's furniture & decor. Best luck with your sale!

For a "greyish white" take a look at BM Dove Wing OC-18. To me it looks like a warm white with a hint of grey.

Thank you so much JudyG Designs and Simplechoices! I appreciate your knowledge and the time you've given with suggestions and pictures. As of tomorrow I have to turn in these paint colors to the painters. The painters will only work with Diamond Vogel paints, so I've been trying to cross reference with my SW choices, which is always my go-to paint co., but the decision has been made; we are going with Captain Nemo on the front (both sides of wood). If you can look up that color, it is a deep gray (hint of blue) and it looks nice with our chairs- both the blue and the gray. I'd love your opinion- if you have one about this, on the color to choose for the three other walls in the room (both sides and the back). I am leaning toward Diamond Vogel- Metro. I don't understand enough about the technical aspects of warm/vs/cold and Light reflecting or not, but perhaps you can speak to that regarding these colors? We will make the carpeting choice after the painting is done. I appreciate your thoughts on how dark the carpet choice is, and I like the "rust" suggestion, so I'll begin looking in that direction. I think a blend of those tones- gray/rust/touch of blue? would make for a nice carryover of the antiquarian brown and might make the two brick columns accented too. The sample I had shown you- I was told, is commercial grade, solution dyed, and nylon. I did pull a loop and it did pull a few loops out, but not in one long strand...so not sure on that. I wanted to alter the ceiling to a deeper gray/bluish choice as JudyG Designs suggested, but it is too late....today the black paint arrived. How I wish I would have put my discussion on much sooner! Thank you, again! I so appreciate your suggestions!
