I feel your pain! I got the Accessible beige sample and almost don't want to try it just go for it. Colors are so weird and can make you feel crazy! At least me:) We have divine white cabs and I feel they change from warm to cool. My husband has his office cabinets painted DW too and they look totally different from our home (actually I think better and his counters are slightly more cool). This is DW next to Nomadic Desert. Have you ever thought of hiring a color expert like Kylie? Maybe for such a large space would be good to get a 2nd set of eyes? Or just go for one and hope for the best. I know I have stressed too much about it:) And no one needs to do that.

You need to try samples in your space. I like that Winds Breath has some warmth, but is a neutral without yellow or pink undertones. It may be helpful to consider what colors you are planning to use for your furnishings. Also check the wall color against your flooring. You might also consider BM Pale Oak, which is slightly more griege with green undertones.

Sarah said she wants to reduce the number of colors on her walls but not get rid of color completely, so I don’t think that warm white walls throughout would make her happy. I’d paint Benjamin Moore Whispering Spring (2136-70), a light aqua, on all walls (including the brown ones) except possibly in the dining room. The current aqua color you have is a pretty color but is just too bright. A more muted, subdued (i.e. less saturated) color would look much better. Dark wall colors can look great in rooms with little natural light! I’d look at either Summer Nights (777), a dark blue, or Travers Red (CW-345), both Benjamin Moore, for the dining room. Both are bold choices but neither is harsh. Either would look nice with Whispering Spring. You’d have to see how they would look with your slate floor, furnishings, and rug- it’s really hard to judge online. I would use no more than two colors and get rid of the brown. If you like Whispering Spring, you could use it on all walls. I’m not familiar with Sherwin-Williams colors so I can’t make any suggestions there. Again, look at colors that are more muted (grayed, subdued) and remember that even light colors look brighter when painted on the walls than on a little color chip. When you narrow down your choices, consider ordering a few from Samplize (shipping is free if you order at least three).

Ivory is a great choice to go with1! As a neutral shade, you can easily pair it with any other color. Ivory is often used with closely similar colors like beige and gold. It can also be used as an accent to navy blue or maroon for a stronger palette.
