Hi . Decoenthusiaste gave you some good advice.

Keep in mind also, your painting and decorating "personality". What I mean by that is, will you tire of the decor in some of the rooms in a few years and want to change things up? If so, are you willing to repaint all of those rooms?

What about resale? When you sell the home, my advice for you would be to paint the rooms a neutral tone. Please keep that in mind.

Finally, I notice already that there is a lot of business going on in the kitchen tile and countertop.

For most homeowners, for these reasons, I recommend a neutral paint color throughout, especially if you are painting prior to making furniture and accessorty choices.

If you love color, there are plenty of opportunities to bring in color through accents, art, etc. Look at your office shelving.....a lot of color could be brought in there through accents.

Do you have any particular furniture items to go in any particular rooms at this point? How many secondary rooms do you have in the house?

What are the colors from which you will be choosing?

Is the color of the kitchen (showing in the photos above) the chosen color for the common areas or will that change also?

One resource I love is https://www.design-seeds.com/

All of her color combinations are earth-inspired and nuanced. Each includes all of the hex codes. You can download "books" for a reasonable price.

Then, you can take these and find similar paint colors. Here is one, for example, using neutrals with hints of color. I chose one with brown, as that already exists in the kitchen.

This gives you a variety of colors, without the house looking like a circus. Just one example.

The office and foyer look to have good natural light while the kitchen does not. If that's true, based on the progression I outlined above, I would put the lightest color in the kitchen, a mid-range shade in the foyer and the darkest color on a color strip card in the office. Use the flooring as your key, and go with blue or yellow undertones, all depending on the warmth or "coolth" of the flooring color. For example, if you have yellow undertones you might try a selection of more pastel olive greens (usually yellow based) or if cool, some sage greens have more blue undertones. Christopher Lowell has an easy method to help you get a good neutral that is not influenced much by blue or yellow, but a true neutral for a good background. Here is his video "7 layers of design." It is covered in step # 1 of his system. The style is a bit dated and the order of the steps can vary from his, but the basic principles still work very well.

Orange and coral are both very invigorating colors. Not sure who will be using this room, but coral is great in offices. Green can also be invigorating, but calmer than coral, and blue is supposed to encourage brain function. I personally prefer bold colors in an office, since they have more power and influence over your mood.

Coral

Green

This color feels contemplative. I feel like it might help with thinking.

If you don't want a bold, distracting color seen from the kitchen, you could paint the shelving wall white to match the shelving, then paint the other walls a bolder color.

I thought you wanted "pale versions and hints of color" ?

@ Reginald Saxton - you might cruise the associated photos of that home to see what they did with fabrics and furniture. It is a pretty classic traditional home with antiques, but may give you some ideas. If you'd like more help, post a dilemma yourself and let Houzzers help you. I'm glad you got something from my comment.

what are the colors you're considering? and KWIM??

Is this one too passive? With your south sunshine, dark floors and antique white cabinets, I think it would look nice. maybe bring in some black and white in the way of art or fabrics?

It looks to be only a shade or two different from what you had in the original pic. As lon as you're happy...
